Talbi E.-G. (ed.) Metaheuristics for Bi-level Optimization

Springer, 2013. — 298 p. — (Studies in Computational Intelligence 482). — ISBN: 978-3-642-44225-4.This book provides a complete background on metaheuristics to solve complex bi-level optimization problems (continuous/discrete, mono-objective/multi-objective) in a diverse range of application domains.
Readers learn to solve large scale bi-level optimization problems by efficiently combining metaheuristics with complementary metaheuristics and mathematical programming approaches. Numerous real-world examples of problems demonstrate how metaheuristics are applied in such fields as networks, logistics and transportation, engineering design, finance and security.
