{"product_id":"genetic-algorithms-data-structures-zbigniew-michalewicz-9783540606765","title":"Genetic Algorithms + Data Structures = Evolution Programs","description":"Genetic algorithms are founded upon the principle of evolution, i.e., survival of the fittest. Hence evolution programming techniques, based on genetic algorithms, are applicable to many hard optimization problems, such as optimization of functions with linear and nonlinear constraints, the traveling salesman problem, and problems of scheduling, partitioning, and control. The importance of these techniques is still growing, since evolution programs are parallel in nature, and parallelism is one of the most promising directions in computer science.\u003cbr\u003eThe book is self-contained and the only prerequisite is basic undergraduate mathematics. This third edition has been substantially revised and extended by three new chapters and by additional appendices containing working material to cover recent developments and a change in the perception of evolutionary computation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Zbigniew Michalewicz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3540606769\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783540606765\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Springer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/21\/1996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 387\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.56lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.54h x 6.39w x 1.00d","brand":"Zbigniew Michalewicz","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44173022789887,"sku":"9783540606765","price":169.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/genetic-algorithms-data-structures-zbigniew-michalewicz-9783540606765","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
