Global Optimization From Theory to Implementation / edited by Leo Liberti, Nelson Maculan.

Most books about global optimization describe the theory of the algorithms, whereas a given implementation’s quality never depends exclusively on the theoretical soundness of the algorithms that are implemented. The literature rarely discusses the tuning of algorithmic parameters, implementation tri...
