About this title

Synopsis

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.

Review

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)
