Mathematical Optimization Terminology takes into account multi-objective method considering the problems related to optimization in case of power distribution systems. It includes a short survey on model-based evolutionary algorithms and study on parameter optimization for support vector regression. This book also discusses about gradient-based cuckoo search for global optimization, a hybrid cuckoo search algorithm, extraction methods for uncertain inference rules by ant colony optimization, a benchmark test suite for evolutionary many-objective optimization, a hybrid SA-MFO algorithm for function optimization and engineering design problems and social group optimization (SGO).
