Beschreibung
This book presents cutting-edge research addressing the mathematical models used to tackle various target search problems manifested in a wide range of disciplines. Leading international experts from around the world describe a variety of different approaches to this truly multidisciplinary topic.
Recent years have witnessed a substantial and still growing interest in understanding general target problems. This encompasses a wide range of different situations in which some "agents" perform a deterministic or stochastic motion to search for a certain immobile or mobile "target". Such problems arise in many disciplines: to name but a few, computer science, the evolution of stock markets, biochemistry, bio-medicine, evolutionary games, as well as diverse areas of physics. This book with its up-to-date collection of chapters authored by leading experts in these and other fields, provides a comprehensive and complete picture in broadly accessible language.
The book will naturally serve as a source of inspiration for further research, as well as facilitating a cross-fertilization of approaches, ideas, and research directions.
