Abstract: |
Initially, an introduction to optimization is provided, emphasizing the shortcomings of classical optimization methods that evolutionary computation algorithms aim to address. Following an introductory presentation of Darwinian evolutionary principles and the survival of the fittest concept, it is explained how optimization algorithms can be developed based on these principles for computer applications. These algorithms seek the optimal solution in a stochastic (randomized) manner for many problems that cannot be solved analytically, either due to their size or their nature involving non-numeric data. The basic operating principles of popular evolutionary computation methods such as genetic algorithms and particle swarm optimization are presented. Additionally, a variety of other heuristic algorithms from the literature are mentioned along with their applications in engineering science.
