Advanced Optimization Methods with Hybrid Metaheuristic and Intelligent Techniques

Advanced Optimization Methods with Hybrid Metaheuristic and Intelligent Techniques

This book takes readers from fundamental optimization concepts to advanced hybrid intelligent algorithms. It covers mathematical modeling, linear and nonlinear programming, dynamic programming, convex optimization, evolutionary computation, swarm intelligence, and state-of-the-art hybrid optimization techniques. Special emphasis is placed on integrating artificial intelligence, machine learning, fuzzy systems, neural networks, and reinforcement learning with optimization frameworks.

Designed for undergraduate, postgraduate, and research scholars in engineering, computer science, data science, and operations research, the book combines rigorous theory with practical implementation. Readers will find numerous engineering examples, case studies, solved numerical problems, Python-based implementations, optimization workflows, review questions, programming exercises, and mini-projects that bridge the gap between theory and real-world applications.
