Optimization problems were and still are the focus of mathematics
from antiquity to the present. Since the beginning of our
civilization, the human race has had to confront numerous
technological challenges, such as finding the optimal solution of
various problems including control technologies, power sources
construction, applications in economy, mechanical engineering and
energy distribution amongst others. These examples encompass both
ancient as well as modern technologies like the first electrical
energy distribution network in USA etc. Some of the key principles
formulated in the middle ages were done by Johannes Kepler (Problem
of the wine barrels), Johan Bernoulli (brachystochrone problem),
Leonhard Euler (Calculus of Variations), Lagrange (Principle
multipliers), that were formulated primarily in the ancient world
and are of a geometric nature. In the beginning of the modern era,
works of L.V. Kantorovich and G.B. Dantzig (so-called linear
programming) can be considered amongst others. This book discusses
a wide spectrum of optimization methods from classical to modern,
alike heuristics. Novel as well as classical techniques is also
discussed in this book, including its mutual intersection. Together
with many interesting chapters, a reader will also encounter
various methods used for proposed optimization approaches, such as
game theory and evolutionary algorithms or modelling of
evolutionary algorithm dynamics like complex networks.
