This book is aimed at offering some insight into the dynamics of evolutionary algorithms, which are primarily stochastic heuristic schemes. Since the comprehensive theoretical formulation encompassing the entire spectrum of evolutionary schemes is difficult, if not impossible, the present treatise may be viewed as an effort to make mathematical chracterization of the dynamics of some restricted class of evolutionary algorithms. Naturally, the endeavour can further be extended to incorporate even wider class of evolutionary algorithms. In that sense, this treatment may be viewed as the...

The book contains comprehensive study on intelligent techniques used in design of an intelligent gas recognition system. Authors have mentioned statistical technique and neural network technique in designing of such intelligent gas recognizer. The neural network techniques include classical backpropagation algorithm and hybrid neuro genetic approach. The book provides detailed study on experimental procedures, data collection methods, data preprocessing techniques etc. in course of such intelligent system design. Interesting aspect of this book is its way of presenting various intelligent...
