In this book, various chaos maps are embedded in eleven efficient and well-known metaheuristics and a significant improvement in the optimization results is achieved. The two basic steps of metaheuristic algorithms consist of exploration and exploitation. The imbalance between these stages causes serious problems for metaheuristic algorithms, which are immature convergence and stopping in local optima. Chaos maps with chaotic jumps can save algorithms from being trapped in local optima and lead to convergence toward global optima. Embedding these maps in the exploration phase,...

This first book of conference proceedings contains selected papers presented at ICGEC 2023, the 15th International Conference on Genetic and Evolutionary Computing, held on October 6-8, 2023, in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. The conference is intended as an international forum for the researchers and professionals in all areas of genetic and evolutionary computing. And the readers know the up-to-date techniques of the mentioned topics, including swarm intelligence and its applications, operational technologies and networked multimedia applications, wearable computing and intelligent data hiding,...

Several important problems arising in Physics, Differential Geometry and other topics lead to consider semilinear variational equations of strongly indefinite type and a great deal of work has been devoted to their study. From the mathematical point of view, the main interest relies on the fact that the tools of Nonlinear Functional Analysis, based on compactness arguments and non-degenerate structure, in general cannot be used, at least in a straightforward way, and some new techniques have to be developed.

This book discusses some new abstract methods together with their...
