Description

When answers are difficult to come by via analytical means, they still
may be possible to find by formulating it as an optimisation problem and
finding numerical solutions. I will talk about evolutionary computing
algorithms, differential evolution in particular, and demonstrate how it
can be used to answer questions related to the landscape/swampland. I
will recommend software and mention design strategies so that anyone can
start applying these methods themselves.
