Recensione

From the reviews:

"This book is about an evolutionary method, called differential evolution (DE) ... . the authors claim that ‘this book is designed to be easy to understand and simple to use’. Indeed, they have achieved their goal. The book is enjoyable to read, fully illustrated with figures and C-like pseudocodes ... . this book is foremost addressed to engineers ... . Moreover, those interested in evolutionary algorithms will certainly find this book to be both interesting and useful." (Panos M. Pardalos, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2006 g)
