xlOptimizer add-in fully implements Differential Evolution (DE): an exciting evolutionary algorithm with simple implementation and impressive performance. DE/rand/1/bin is the standard variant of the algorithm.

DE/best/1/bin is a more greedy variant of the standard algorithm.

DE/rand-best/1/bin is a balanced variant between greedy best/1/bin and robust rand/1/bin.
