Hi,
I have implemented Differential Evolution algorithm in Matlab. When I'm checking with the global optimization problems like Griewank, Branin, Rastringen etc. I am not getting the reported solution. I guess this with random number generation. I have changed the seed of the random number but still I'm not getting the solution.

Could any help me in this.

I will be thankful in advance.

thanks and regards,
Naveen N

I doubt there is a problem with random number generation (RNG).
More likely a bug in your program.
My advice is: don't waste time worrying about RNG, look for bugs in
your program.
