Resumen

Los algoritmos de optimización estocástica se han convertido en herramientas esenciales para resolver un amplio intervalo de problemas de optimización difíciles y críticos. Tales métodos son capaces de hallar la solución óptima con elementos de incertidumbre o incorporar de modo algorítmico la incertidumbre para abordar un problema determinístico. En este libro se discuten aspectos teóricos de varios de estos algoritmos y cubre su aplicación en diversos campos científicos.
