Gebundene Ausgabe. Condition: Neu. Evolution strategies have more than 50 years of history in the field of evolutionary computation. Since the early 1990s, many algorithmic variations of evolution strategies have been developed, characterized by the fact that they use the so-called derandomization concept for strategy parameter adaptation. Most importantly, the covariance matrix adaptation strategy (CMA-ES) and its successors are the key representatives of this group of contemporary evolution strategies. This book provides an overview of the key algorithm developments between 1990 and 2012, including brief descriptions of the algorithms, a unified pseudocode representation of each algorithm, and program code which is available for download. In addition, a taxonomy of these algorithms is provided to clarify similarities and differences as well as historical relationships between the various instances of evolution strategies. Moreover, due to the authors' focus on industrial applications of nonlinear optimization, all algorithms are empirically compared on the so-called BBOB (Black-Box Optimization Benchmarking) test function suite, and ranked according to their performance. In contrast to classical academic comparisons, however, only a very small number of objective function evaluations is permitted. In particular, an extremely small number of evaluations, such as between one hundred and one thousand for high-dimensional functions, is considered. This is motivated by the fact that many industrial optimization tasks do not permit more than a few hundred evaluations. Our experiments suggest that evolution strategies are powerful nonlinear direct optimizers even for challenging industrial problems with a very small budget of function evaluations. The book is suitable for academic and industrial researchers and practitioners. Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 278.…

Gebundene Ausgabe. Condition: Neu. Zum 75. Geburtstag von Prof. Dr. Dieter Geuenich, von 1988 bis 2008 Inhaber des Lehrstuhls f?r Mittelalterliche Geschichte an der Gerhard-Mercator-Universit?t Duis-burg bzw. an der Universit?t Duisburg-Essen und lang-j?hriger Gesch?ftsf?hrender Direktor des Instituts f?r niederrheinische Kulturgeschichte und Regionalentwick- lung (InKuR), erscheint diese Festschrift mit Beitr?gen zur Geschichte, Sprache und Kultur des Rhein-Maas-Raums. Kollegen, Sch?ler und Freunde ehren damit einen weit ?ber die Grenzen des Faches und des Landes hinaus bekannten und gesch?tzten Medi?visten, der die Geschichtswissenschaft an den Universit?ten Duisburg und Essen entscheidend mitgepr?gt hat, dessen be-sonderes Anliegen es aber zugleich immer war, ?ber die akademischen Grenzen hinaus die an der Geschichte und Kultur des niederl?ndischen und deutschen Niederrhein-gebiets interessierten Menschen anzusprechen. Das breite Spektrum der Beitr?ge im vorliegenden Band spiegelt den Radius dieser Aktivit?ten: Zeitlich spannt sich der Bogen vom fr?hen Mittelalter bis zur Gegenwart, thematisch von der Politik- und Kulturgeschichte, der Adels-geschichte, der Geschichte von Kirche und M?nchtum, der Verkehrs- und Infrastrukturgeschichte ?ber die Rechts- und Verwaltungsgeschichte, die Gedenkkultur des Mittelalters und der wilhelminischen Zeit bis hin zur Literatur- und Sprachgeschichte.

Buch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book presents a unified view of evolutionary algorithms: the exciting new probabilistic search tools inspired by biological models that have immense potential as practical problem-solvers in a wide variety of settings, academic, commercial, and industrial. In this work, the author compares the three most prominent representatives of evolutionary algorithms: genetic algorithms, evolution strategies, and evolutionary programming. The algorithms are presented within a unified 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, showing how mutation seems to be much more important for the performance of genetic algorithms than usually assumed. The interaction of selection and mutation, and the impact of the binary code are further topics of interest. Some of the theoretical results are also confirmed by performing an experiment in meta-evolution on a parallel computer. The meta-algorithmstrategies and genetic algorithms to yield a hybrid capable of handling mixed integer optimization problems. As a detailed description of the algorithms, with practical guidelines for usage and implementation, this work will interest a wide range of researchers in computer science and engineering disciplines, as well as graduate students in these fields.…
