Teaching :: Computational Methods in Bionics - Num. Optimization

Computational Methods in Bionics - Num. Optimization - Winter Term 2010/2011

The lecture is intended for students from engineering and natural science faculties as well as from computer science and mathematics. It will give an overview about numerical optimization methods in general and a detailed description of methods copied from nature and transferred to optimization strategies: methods based on the mutation-selection-principle or on simulated annealing. The lecture will give an introduction in the biological mechanisms and will explain the transfer to mathematical procedures. Several examples will demonstrate the applicability of the methods.
