This book constitutes the proceedings of the 15th International Workshop on Frontiers in Algorithmics, FAW 2021, held in conjunction with second International Joint Conference on Theoretical Computer Science (IJTCS 2021), as IJTCS-FAW 2021, in Beijing, China, in August 2021. The conference IJTCS-FAW 2021 was held in hybrid mode due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The 5 full papers presented in th…
This open access book gives an overview of cutting-edge work on a new paradigm called the “sublinear computation paradigm,” which was proposed in the large multiyear academic research project “Foundations of Innovative Algorithms for Big Data.” That project ran from October 2014 to March 2020, in Japan. To handle the unprecedented explosion of big data sets in research, industry, and ot…
This book is concerned with recent advances in fitness landscapes. The concept of fitness landscapes originates from theoretical biology and refers to a framework for analysing and visualizing the relationships between genotypes, phenotypes and fitness. These relationships lay at the centre of attempts to mathematically describe evolutionary processes and evolutionary dynamics. The book addr…
This book thoroughly discusses computationally efficient (suboptimal) Model Predictive Control (MPC) techniques based on neural models. The subjects treated include: · A few types of suboptimal MPC algorithms in which a linear approximation of the model or of the predicted trajectory is successively calculated on-line and used for prediction. · Implementation details of …
