Complexity theory is the theory of determining the necessary resources for the solution of algorithmic problems and, therefore, the limits of what is possible with the available resources. An understanding of these limits prevents the search for non-existing efficient algorithms. This textbook considers randomization as a key concept and ...
The 30 coherently written chapters by leading researchers presented in this anthology are devoted to basic results achieved in computational intelligence since 1997. The book provides complete coverage of the core issues in the field, especially in fuzzy logic and control as well as for evolutionary optimization algorithms including genetic ...
Research on the complexity of Boolean Functions in non- uniform computation models is now one of the most interesting and important areas of research in theoretical computer science. It has a direct relevance to practical problems in the Computer Aided Design of digital circuits. In this book Professor Dr Wegener presents a large number of recent ...
Finite functions (in particular, Boolean functions) play a fundamental role in computer science and discrete mathematics. This book describes representations of Boolean functions that have small size for many important functions and which allow efficient work with the represented functions. The representation size of important and selected ...
The problems of search, exploration, discovery and identification are of key importance in a wide variety of applications. This book provides a comprehensive survey of the substantial contributions made to these problems by researchers in the last 30 years. The authors emphasise connections to other fields such as stochastic approximation, ...
Die KomplexitAtstheorie ist inzwischen eine ausgefeilte Theorie. Viele wichtige und nA1/4tzliche Ergebnisse sind schwer vermittelbar, da der Weg zu Ergebnissen fA1/4r konkrete Probleme lang und beschwerlich ist. WAhrend die NP-VollstAndigkeitstheorie die gesamte Informatik beeinfluAt hat, werden die neueren Ergebnisse in der Ausbildung an den Rand ...
Dieser Band enthAlt die BeitrAge einer Ringvorlesung Highlights aus der Informatik an der UniversitAt Dortmund, in der Wissenschaftler, die durch ihre Forschung und didaktischen FAhigkeiten ausgewiesen sind, Glanzlichter aus der neueren Informatikforschung aufbereiteten und sie so Studenten und interessierten Laien zugAnglich gemacht haben. Dabei ...
