Handbook of Nature-Inspired Optimization Algorithms: Volume I: Solving Single Objective Bound-Constrained Real-Parameter Numerical Optimization Problems (Studies in Systems, Decision and Control #212)
by Ali Mohamed Diego Oliva Ponnuthurai Nagaratnam SuganthanThe introduction of nature-inspired optimization algorithms (NIOAs), over the past three decades, helped solve nonlinear, high-dimensional, and complex computational optimization problems. NIOAs have been originally developed to overcome the challenges of global optimization problems such as nonlinearity, non-convexity, non-continuity, non-differentiability, and/or multimodality which traditional numerical optimization techniques had difficulties solving. The main objective for this book is to make available a self-contained collection of modern research addressing the general bound-constrained optimization problems in many real-world applications using nature-inspired optimization algorithms. This book is suitable for a graduate class on optimization, but will also be useful for interested senior students working on their research projects.
Handbook of Nature-Inspired Optimization Algorithms: Volume II: Solving Constrained Single Objective Real-Parameter Optimization Problems (Studies in Systems, Decision and Control #213)
by Ali Wagdy Mohamed Diego Oliva Ponnuthurai Nagaratnam SuganthanThis book presents recent contributions and significant development, advanced issues, and challenges. In real-world problems and applications, most of the optimization problems involve different types of constraints. These problems are called constrained optimization problems (COPs). The optimization of the constrained optimization problems is considered a challenging task since the optimum solution(s) must be feasible. In their original design, evolutionary algorithms (EAs) are able to solve unconstrained optimization problems effectively. As a result, in the past decade, many researchers have developed a variety of constraint handling techniques, incorporated into (EAs) designs, to counter this deficiency.The main objective for this book is to make available a self-contained collection of modern research addressing the general constrained optimization problems in many real-world applications using nature-inspired optimization algorithms. This book is suitable for a graduate class on optimization, but will also be useful for interested senior students working on their research projects.
