About this title

Synopsis

In a unified and comprehensive manner, this book collects the results of evolutionary programming techniques available only in widely scattered research papers. The book includes a discussion of optimization problems in the areas of optimal control, operations research and engineering. New features are references to recent developments and a sample genetic code in C.

Review

Zbigniew Michalewicz's Genetic Algorithms + Data Structures = Evolution Programs has three sections. The first section is a straightforward introduction to genetic algorithms. In the second section, Michalewicz describes how to apply genetic algorithms to numerical optimization. Michalewicz, who is a pioneer in this field, discusses the rationale for using genetic algorithms for numerical optimization and describes several experiments that show how this new type of genetic algorithm performs. The author devotes the third section of the book to evolution programs.
