The book describes each method, examines their strengths and weaknesses, and where appropriate, provides the MATLAB code to give practical insight into the detailed structure of these methods and how they work. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNature-inspired algorithms emulate processes that are found in the natural world, spurring interest for optimization. Lindfield\/Penny provide concise coverage to all the major algorithms, including genetic algorithms, artificial bee colony algorithms, ant colony optimization and the cuckoo search algorithm, among others. This book provides a quick reference to practicing engineers, researchers and graduate students who work in the field of optimization. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e George Lindfield,John Penny\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0128036362\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780128036365\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Academic Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/12\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 7.30w x 0.60d","brand":"George Lindfield","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48991609848063,"sku":"9780128036365","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/introduction-to-nature-inspired-optimization-george-lindfield-9780128036365","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
