Motivation for Differential Evolution for Permutative-Based Combinatorial Problems - Differential Evolution: A Topic for Global Permutation-Based Combinatorial Optimization - page 11

At least five DE permutative-based combinatorial optimization approaches that have
proved effective have been presented in this topic and they have been used to solve real-
life problems. The results obtained are found to be quite competitive for each approach
presented in chapters 3 to 7. Some of these approaches have become the building blocks
for realizing higher-order or enhanced version of DE permutative-based combinatorial
optimization approaches. Some of these enhanced versions have presented in some of
the chapters. Their results are better in terms of quality than the basic versions; and some
cases computation times have been drastically reduced when these enhanced version are
used for solving the same real-life problems which the basic versions are used for.
