Abstract: Differential Evolution (DE) is a fast and robust real vector optimizer. This paper applies DE to discrete problems by converting a real chromosome to an integer chromosome and then decompress to a binary chromosome using LZW algorithm. Experimental result shows that this approach is better than the previous work and the evolution time is very fast. Differential Evolution; LZW; Discrete optimization;
