Series: Springer Optimization and its Applications. Num Pages: 272 pages, 1 black & white tables, biography. BIC Classification: PBU. Category: (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 17. Weight in Grams: 565.
This book aims to cover major methodological and theoretical developments in the ?eld of stochastic global optimization. This ?eld includes global random search and methods based on probabilistic assumptions about the objective function. We discuss the basic ideas lying behind the main algorithmic schemes, formulate the most essential algorithms and outline the ways of their theor- ical investigation. We try to be mathematically precise and sound but at the same time we do not often delve deep into the mathematical detail, referring instead to the corresponding literature. We often do not consider the most g- eral assumptions, preferring instead simplicity ... Read more
