Principles in Noisy Optimization - Konar, Amit

. .

Résumé :
? ? Reviews the existing principles of noisy optimization in a lucid and insightful manner ? Presents the latest techniques of noisy evolutionary optimization with their applications in agent coordination ? A high school level background of mathematics is good enough to understand most of the chapters in the book Includes the MATLAB codes of the proposed algorithms to enable the readers to readily use the techniques for their own applications...
