Description
Optimization problems are very common in high energy particle (astro-)
physics. In this tutorial we want to BROADen the typical optimization
toolkit known to physicists by introducing so-called genetic
algorithms (GA). These algorithms are very powerful when it comes to
optimizing abstract or high dimensional problems.
In this course we want to discuss the main concepts and give an
overview of the most common problems GAs are applied to. A large part
of the course will be dedicated to experimenting with existing
implementions so that the participants can form their own opinion.
