Description
This book compares the three most prominent representatives of evolutionary algorithms - genetic algorithms, evolution strategies, and evolutionary programming - computational methods at the border between computer science and evolutionary biology. The algorithms are explained within a common formal framework, thereby clarifying the similarities and differences of these methods. The author also presents new results regarding the role of mutation and selection in genetic algorithms and uses a meta-evolutionary approach to confirm some of the theoretical results.
Reviews / Votes
The reviewed book gives an unified mathematical representation of evolutionary algorithms. The book can be useful to researches in the theory of evolutionary algorithms. * Zeischrift fur Mathematik *More details
