Know about the book -

Differential Evolution: A Handbook for Global Permutation-Based Combinatorial Optimization is written by Godfrey C. Onwubolu and published by Springer Science & Business Media. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 3540921508 (ISBN 10) and 9783540921509 (ISBN 13).

This is the first book devoted entirely to Differential Evolution (DE) for global permutative-based combinatorial optimization. Since its original development, DE has mainly been applied to solving problems characterized by continuous parameters. This means that only a subset of real-world problems could be solved by the original, classical DE algorithm. This book presents in detail the various permutative-based combinatorial DE formulations by their initiators in an easy-to-follow manner, through extensive illustrations and computer code. It is a valuable resource for professionals and students interested in DE in order to have full potentials of DE at their disposal as a proven optimizer. All source programs in C and Mathematica programming languages are downloadable from the website of Springer.
