Southampton, 1807. Questa volta la curiosità di Jane per i casi intricati è risvegliata da suo fratello Frank che chiede il suo aiuto per salvare la vita all’amico e collega della Marina, il capitano Tom Seagrave, condannato a morte per un omicidio che non avrebbe commesso. Frank è il solo a credere all’amico e ha bisogno del fiuto di sua sorella per portare a galla la verità. Per i due investigatori inizia un viaggio attraverso i segreti della famiglia Seagrave che li porterà fino alle celle della prigione di Wool House, dove uno dei detenuti potrebbe essere il testimone chiave per risolvere il caso. Ma più Jane si avvicinerà alla verità, più si stringerà la rete che l’assassino le sta tessendo intorno e, quando Jane se ne renderà conto, sarà troppo tardi per tornare indietro, e far luce sull’omicidio sarà il solo modo per salvarsi la vita…

Evolutionary Constrained Optimization (Repost)




Rituparna Datta, Kalyanmoy Deb, "Evolutionary Constrained Optimization"


English | 2015 | ISBN-10: 8132221834 | 336 pages | PDF | 10 MB




This book makes available a self-contained collection of modern research addressing the general constrained optimization problems using evolutionary algorithms. Broadly the topics covered include constraint handling for single and multi-objective optimizations; penalty function based methodology; multi-objective based methodology; new constraint handling mechanism; hybrid methodology; scaling issues in constrained optimization; design of scalable test problems; parameter adaptation in constrained optimization; handling of integer, discrete and mix variables in addition to continuous variables; application of constraint handling techniques to real-world problems; and constrained optimization in dynamic environment. There is also a separate chapter on hybrid optimization, which is gaining lots of popularity nowadays due to its capability of bridging the gap between evolutionary and classical optimization. The material in the book is useful to researchers, novice, and experts alike. The book will also be useful for classroom teaching and future research.
