A double-model differential evolution for constrained waterflooding production optimization

Recently, evolutionary algorithms (EAs) are becoming more and more popular in oil industry. It should be noted that the existence of various state constraints largely decreases the efficiency of EAs. In this paper, a double-model differential evolution (CSDE) is proposed for waterflooding production optimization with nonlinear inequality constraints. There are two main stages in CSDE: 1) the boundary of feasible region is explicitly constructed...
