I bought the book simply because the authors are the original developers of the algorithm, and hope to get some more information than what I learned from the literature (isolated individual publications over the years).I am a little disappointed, and feeling regretted spending nearly $70 on this boo

โฆ Synopsis
Problems demanding globally optimal solutions are ubiquitous, yet many are intractable when they involve constrained functions having many local optima and interacting, mixed-type variables. The Differential Evolution algorithm (DE) is a practical approach to global numerical optimization that is easy to understand, simple to implement, reliable and fast. Packed with illustrations, computer code, new insights and practical advice, this volume explores DE in both principle and practice. It is a valuable resource for professionals needing a proven optimizer and for students wanting an evolutionary perspective on global numerical optimzation. A companion CD includes DE-based optimization software in several programming languages.
