9780792376545: Evolutionary Optimization: 48

Sinossi

Over the years, the use and application of evolutionary computation techniques has improved resulting in a set of computational intelligence (also known as modern heuristics) tools that are particularly adept for solving complex optimization problems. Moreover, they are characteristically more robust than traditional methods based on formal logics or mathematical programming for many real world OR/MS problems. Hence, evolutionary computation techniques have dealt with complex optimization problems better than traditional optimization techniques although they can be applied to easy and simple problems where conventional techniques work well. This volume reviews evolutionary computation techniques and surveys the most recent developments in their use for solving complex OR/MS problems.

Recensione

From the reviews:

"The book contains 17 chapters written by leading experts in evolutionary computation. ... Of special value is the analysis of evolutionary algorithms on pseudo-Boolean functions, given by Ingo Wegener. He and his coauthors are the first, who proved substantially sharp results on the expected run time and the success probability for evolutionary algorithms with (respectively without) crossover, giving sharp upper and lower bounds." (Hartmut Noltemeier, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1072 (23), 2005)
