Describing a new
optimization algorithm, the "Teaching-Learning-Based Optimization (TLBO)," in a
clear and lucid style, this book maximizes reader insights into how the TLBO
algorithm can be used to solve continuous and discrete optimization problems
involving single or multiple objectives.
As the algorithm operates
on the principle of teaching and learning, where teachers influence the quality
of learners' results, the elitist version of TLBO
algorithm (ETLBO) is described along with applications of the TLBO algorithm in
the fields of electrical engineering, mechanical design, thermal engineering,
manufacturing engineering, civil engineering, structural engineering, computer
engineering, electronics engineering, physics and biotechnology.
The book offers a valuable
resource for scientists, engineers and practitioners involved in the
development and usage of advanced optimization algorithms.
