Differential evolution: a handbook for global permutation-based combinatorial optimization
Onwubolu, G.C.
Davendra, D.
This is the first book devoted entirely to Differential Evolution (DE) for global permutative-based combinatorial optimization. Since its original development, DE has mainly been applied to solving problems characterized by continuous parameters. This means that only a subset of real-world problems could be solved by the original, classical DE algorithm. This book presents in detail thevarious permutative-based combinatorial DE formulations by their initiators in an easy-to-follow manner, through extensive illustrations and computer code.It is a valuable resource for professionals and students interested in DE in order to have full potentials of DE at their disposal as a proven optimizer. All source programs in C and Mathematica programming languages are downloadablefrom the website of Springer. Presents a complete introduction to differential evolution Includes the continuous space DE formulation and the permutative-based combinatorial DE formulation INDICE: Motivation for Differential Evolution for Permutative-based Combinatorial Problems.- Differential Evolution for Permutation-based Combinatorial Problems.- Forward Backward Transformation.- Relative Position Indexing Approach.- Smallest Position Value Approach.- Discrete/Binary Approach.- Discrete Set Handling.
