Since its inception, it has proved very efficient and robust in function optimization and has been applied to solve problems in many scientific and engineering fields. In \u003ci\u003eDifferential Evolution\u003c\/i\u003e , Dr. Qing begins with an overview of optimization, followed by a state-of-the-art review of differential evolution, including its fundamentals and up-to-date advances. He goes on to explore the relationship between differential evolution strategies, intrinsic control parameters, non-intrinsic control parameters, and problem features through a parametric study. Findings and recommendations on the selection of strategies and intrinsic control parameter values are presented. Lastly, after an introductory review of reported applications in electrical and electronic engineering fields, different research groups demonstrate how the methods can be applied to such areas as: multicast routing, multisite mapping in grid environments, antenna arrays, analog electric circuit sizing, electricity markets, stochastic tracking in video sequences, and color quantization.  \u003cul type=\"disc\"\u003e \u003cli\u003eContains a systematic and comprehensive overview of differential evolution\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eReviews the latest differential evolution research\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDescribes a comprehensive parametric study conducted over a large test bed\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cul type=\"disc\"\u003e \u003cli\u003eShows how methods can be practically applied to  \u003cul type=\"circle\"\u003e \u003cli\u003emobile communications\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003egrid computing\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ecircuits\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eimage processing\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003epower engineering\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSample applications demonstrated by research groups in the United Kingdom, Australia, Italy, Turkey, China, and Eastern Europe\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eProvides access to companion website with code examples for download\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eDifferential Evolution\u003c\/i\u003e is ideal for application engineers, who can use the methods described to solve specific engineering problems.
