This book makes available a self-contained collection of modern research addressing the general constrained optimization problems using evolutionary algorithms. Broadly the topics covered include constraint handling for single and multi-objective optimizations; penalty function based methodology; multi-objective based methodology; new constraint handling mechanism; hybrid methodology; scaling issues in constrained optimization; design of scalable test problems; parameter adaptation in constrained optimization; handling of integer, discrete and mix variables in addition to continuous variables; application of constraint handling techniques to real-world problems; and constrained optimization in dynamic environment. There is also a separate chapter on hybrid optimization, which is gaining lots of popularity nowadays due to its capability of bridging the gap between evolutionary and classical optimization. The material in the book is useful to researchers, novice, and experts alike. The book will also be useful for classroom teaching and future research.

Stimmen zu »Evolutionary Constrained Optimization«
“The book contains ten chapters, each one dealing
with various aspects of the current state of the art in the field of
evolutionary optimization algorithms applied to general constrained
optimization problems. … It will be useful for practitioners dealing with hard
constrained optimization problems, as well as researchers and graduate students
in the computer science and engineering fields.” (Petrica Pop, Computing
