Evolution Strategy: Nature’s Way of Optimization

  • Conference paper

Part of the Lecture Notes in Engineering book series (LNENG,volume 47)

Abstract

Biological Evolution has done development work on animated matter for more than three billion years. The method used in this process is the equivalent of an astute optimization procedure which is proverable by the theory of Evolution Strategy.
