The proposed HyDE-DF is applied to the 100-Digit Challenge in a set of 10 benchmark functions. Results show that HyDE-DF can achieve a 93/100 score, proving its effectiveness for numerical optimization.engComputing methodologiesApplied computingSearch methodologiesEngineeringEvolutionary computationDifferential evolutionnumerical optimizationHybrid-adaptive differential evolution with decay function (HyDE-DF) applied to the 100-digit challenge competition on single objective numerical optimizationconference object10.1145/3319619.3326747
