Editorial Reviews

From the reviews:

"The book covers almost everything, including the latest developments, about the evolutionary meta-heuristic approach. … a well-written book which is enriched by the interesting writing style of the author. … The author is not only an expert in the field of the book, but also has had a great impact on its latest developments … . the stress of the book lies more on the practical side of the algorithm than on its theory, it is a good source for academia, science and especially practice." (Panos M. Pardalos, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2007 e)

"The book deals with the neoteric differential evolution, strategies of search, transversal differential evolution, energetic selection principle, hybridization of differential evolution and applications. The writing style is very dynamic and nice, inviting the interested reader (students, teachers, engineers etc.) to learn more about this exciting subject." (Florin Gorunescu, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1136 (14), 2008)
