Cover of Particle Swarm Optimisation
Although the particle swarm optimisation (PSO) algorithm requires relatively few parameters and is computationally simple and easy to implement, it is not a globally convergent algorithm. In Particle Swarm Optimisation: Classical and Quantum Perspectives, the authors introduce their concept of quantum-behaved particles inspired by quantum mechanics

Cover of Concise Introduction to Image Processing Using C++
Image recognition has become an increasingly dynamic field with new and emerging civil and military applications in security, exploration, and robotics. Written by experts in fractal-based image and video compression, A Concise Introduction to Image Processing using C++ strengthens your knowledge of fundamentals principles in image acquisition, con

Cover of Computing Financial Derivatives

From basic to exotic options, this volume describes accurate and efficient numerical solutions to the options pricing problem. It presents state-of-the-art developments in option pricing along with discretization techniques, numerical algorithms, distributed algorithms, and practical applications of these methods to real-world examples. The book offers a detailed description of mathematical modeling as well as a focus on implementation and results. Additional topics covered include Cartesian meshes, non-uniform time-stepping routines, and semi-Lagrangian time integration schemes.
