Search and Foraging (eBook, PDF)

Individual Motion and Swarm Dynamics

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book examines how to program artificial search agents so that they act optimally or demonstrate the same behavior as predicted by the foraging theory for living organisms. It discusses foraging theory as well as search and screening theory in the same mathematical and algorithmic framework. It presents an overview of the main ideas and methods of foraging and search theories, making the concepts of one theory accessible to specialists of the other. Numerical examples illustrate the application of both theories.
