This book demonstrates the metaheuristic methodologies that apply to maximum diversity problems to solve them. Maximum diversity problems arise in many practical settings from facility location to social network analysis and constitute an important class of NP-hard problems in combinatorial optimization. In fact, this volume presents a “missing link” in the combinatorial optimization-related literature. In providing the basic principles and fundamental ideas of the most successful methodologies for discrete optimization, this book allows readers to create their own applications for...

The book is devoted to the study of approximate solutions of fixed point problems in the presence of computational errors. It begins with a study of approximate solutions of star-shaped feasibility problems in the presence of perturbations. The goal is to show the convergence of algorithms, which are known as important tools for solving convex feasibility problems and common fixed point problems.The text also presents studies of algorithms based on unions of nonexpansive maps, inconsistent convex feasibility problems, and split common fixed point problems. A number of algorithms are...

This text focuses on simple and easy-to-use design strategies for solving complex engineering problems that arise in several fields of engineering design, namely non-convex optimization problems.
The main optimization tool used in this book to tackle the problem of nonconvexity is the Heuristic Kalman Algorithm (HKA). The main characteristic of HKA is the use of a stochastic search mechanism to solve a given optimization problem. From a computational point of view, the use of a stochastic search procedure appears essential for dealing with non-convex...
