Cellular genetic algorithms [electronic resource] / Enrique Alba and Bernabé Dorronsoro.

Annotation Cellular Genetic Algorithms defines a new class of optimization algorithms based on the concepts of structured populations and Genetic Algorithms (GAs). The authors explain and demonstrate the validity of these cellular genetic algorithms throughout the book with equal and parallel emphas...
