Advanced Numerical Methods in Applied Sciences
The generalized Schur algorithm (GSA) allows computing well-known matrix decompositions, such as QR and LU factorizations [1]. In particular, if the involved matrix is structured, i.e., Toeplitz, block-Toeplitz or Sylvester, the GSA computes the R factor of the QR factorization with complexity of one order of magnitude less than that of the classical QR algorithm [2], since it relies only on t…

Imagining Head-Smashed-In Aboriginal Buffalo Hunting on the Northern Plains
At the place known as Head-Smashed-In in southwestern Alberta, Aboriginal people practiced a form of group hunting for nearly 6,000 years before European contact. The large communal bison traps of the Plains were the single greatest food-getting method ever developed in human history. Hunters, working with their knowledge of the land and of buffalo behaviour, drove their quarry over a cliff and…

Dynamics of Evolution and Learning
The book develops a unifying perspective on how learning influences evolutionary dynamics which for the first time explains seemingly contradicting results from the literature. It also reveals formerly unknown facets of the complex interplay of the two major biological adaptation mechanisms. The results apply to models from computational intelligence and evolutionary biology alike, thus contrib…
