Opposition-based learning mechanism (OBL) only searches a fixed point in the opposite space.In order to overcome this defect
a rotation-based learning mechanism (RBL) is proposed by introducing the rotation operation to OBL.The RBL can search any point in the rotation space by adjusting the rotation angle parameter
and has a stronger exploration capacity and multiple application modes.By embedding the RBL and self-adaptive parameter control mechanism into differential evolution algorithm (DE)
the rotation-based differential evolution algorithm (RDE) is introduced.Simulation experiments conducted on a set of widely used benchmark functions verify the effectiveness of RBL mechanism.Compared with several well-known DE variants
the RDE algorithm has a significant competitive advantage in optimizing performance
