Abstract:Optimization theory is not just about mathematics, it has roots in
economics, social sciences and philosophy. This seminar will attempt
to position Optimization theory, more precisely vector optimization,
in artificial life. The seminar will be three-fold. The first is an
easy introduction to vector optimization. The second covers some of
our techniques in this area. The third will attempt to answer some
fundamental questions in artificial life and robotics about
complexity, diversity, and neuroevolution.
