Abstract: Multivariate approximation and optimization appear in
modeling real systems. The aim of this lecture is to present new algorithms
and computational techniques for solving practical problems of approximation
an optimization and to make a comparison between them. In the first part,
genetic algorithms, ant and wasp behaviour algorithms are taking into account
and applied to agent-based approaches to manufacturing scheduling and control
in distributed manufacturing systems and to adaptive multiagent systems.
In the second part we present new results in multivariate interpolation and
polyspline and their applications in image processing and classification
theory.
A reformulation of the problem of multivariate interpolation which allows the
use of methods taken from artificial intelligence make a connection between
the two parts of the presentation.
As a conclusion, problems from many other fields, like chemistry, biology,
medicine which can be solve using the presented algorithms and techniques are
presented.
