Buch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book examines the mismatch betweendiscrete programs,which lie at the center ofmodern applied mathematics, and the continuous space phenomena they simulate. The author considers whether we can imagine continuous spacesof programs, and asks what thestructure of such spaceswould beand how they would beconstituted. He proposesa functional analysisof program spaces focused through the lens of iterative optimization.The author begins with the observation that optimization methods such as Genetic Algorithms, Evolution Strategies, and Particle Swarm Optimization can be analyzed as Estimation of Distributions Algorithms (EDAs) in that they can be formulated as conditional probability distributions. The probabilities themselves are mathematical objects that can be compared and operated on, and thus many methods in Evolutionary Computation can be placed in a shared vector space and analyzed using techniques of functionalanalysis. The core ideas of this book expand from that concept, eventually incorporating all iterative stochastic search methods, including gradient-based methods. Inspired by work on Randomized Search Heuristics, the author covers all iterative optimization methods and not just evolutionary methods. The No Free Lunch Theorem is viewed as a useful introduction to the broader field of analysis that comes from developing a shared mathematical space for optimization algorithms. The author brings in intuitions from several branches of mathematics such as topology, probability theory, and stochastic processes and provides substantial background material to make the work as self-contained as possible.The book will be valuable for researchers in the areas of global optimization, machine learning, evolutionary theory, and control theory.…
