    Complex single-objective bounded problems are often difficult to solve. In evolutionary computation methods, since the proposal of differential evolution algorithm in 1997, it has been widely studied and developed due to its simplicity and efficiency. These developments include various adaptive strategies, operator improvements, and the introduction of other search methods. After 2014, research based on LSHADE has also been widely studied by researchers. However, although recently proposed improvement strategies have shown superiority over their previous generation's first performance, adding all new strategies may not necessarily bring the strongest performance. Therefore, we recombine some effective advances based on advanced differential evolution variants in recent years and finally determine an effective combination scheme to further promote the performance of differential evolution. In this paper, we propose a strategy recombination and reconstruction differential evolution algorithm called reconstructed differential evolution (RDE) to solve single-objective bounded optimization problems. Based on the benchmark suite of the 2024 IEEE Congress on Evolutionary Computation (CEC2024), we tested RDE and several other advanced differential evolution variants. The experimental results show that RDE has superior performance in solving complex optimization problems.

    <jats:p>Human visual system is a crucial component of the nervous system, enabling us to perceive and understand the surrounding world. Advancements in research on the visual system have profound implications for our understanding of both biological and computer vision. Orientation detection, a fundamental process in the visual cortex where neurons respond to linear stimuli in specific orientations, plays a pivotal role in both fields. In this study, we propose a novel orientation detection mechanism for local neurons based on dendrite computation, specifically designed for grayscale images. Our model comprises eight neurons capable of detecting local orientation information, with inter-neuronal interactions facilitated through nonlinear dendrites. Through the extraction of local orientation information, this mechanism effectively derives global orientation information, as confirmed by successful computer simulations. Experimental results demonstrate that our mechanism exhibits remarkable orientation detection capabilities irrespective of variations in size, shape, or position, which aligns with previous physiological research findings. These findings contribute to our understanding of the human visual system and provide valuable insights into both biological and computer vision. The proposed orientation detection mechanism, with its nonlinear dendritic computations, offers a promising approach for improving orientation detection in grayscale images.</jats:p>
