Principles in Noisy Optimization: Applied to Multi-agent Coordination

Noisy optimization is a topic of growing interest for researchers working on mainstream optimization problems. Although several techniques for dealing with shastic noise in optimization problems are covered in journals and conference proceedings, today there are virtually no books that approach noisy optimization from a layman’s perspective; this book remedies that gap.

Beginning with the foundations of evolutionary optimization, the book subsequently explores the principles of noisy optim...
