Advances in Differential Evolution

The two-volume set of LNCS 10941 and 10942 constitutes the proceedings of the 9th International Conference on Advances in Swarm Intelligence, ICSI 2018, held in Shanghai, China, in June 2018. The total of 113 papers presented in these volumes was carefully reviewed and selected from 197 submissions.

This two-volume set LNCS 13344 and 13345 constitutes the proceedings of the 13th International Conference on Advances in Swarm Intelligence, ICSI 2022, which took place in Xi’an, China, in July 2022. The theme of this year’s conference was “Serving Life with Swarm Intelligence”.

The Applied and Numerical Harmonic Analysis (ANHA) book series aims to provide the engineering, mathematical, and scientific communities with significant developments in harmonic analysis, ranging from abstract har­ monic analysis to basic applications. The title of the series reflects the im­ portance of applications and numerical implementation, but richness and relevance of applications and implementation depend fundamentally on the structure and depth of theoretical underpinnings. Thus, from our point of view, the interleaving of theory and applications and their creative symbi­ otic evolution is axiomatic. Harmonic analysis is a wellspring of ideas and applicability that has flour­ ished, developed, and deepened over time within many disciplines and by means of creative cross-fertilization with diverse areas. The intricate and fundamental relationship between harmonic analysis and fields such as sig­ nal processing, partial differential equations (PDEs), and image processing is reflected in our state of the art ANHA series. Our vision of modern harmonic analysis includes mathematical areas such as wavelet theory, Banach algebras, classical Fourier analysis, time­ frequency analysis, and fractal geometry, as well as the diverse topics that impinge on them.
