Includes bibliographical references. This dissertation presents a new algorithm that was developed to perform autonomous fitting of gravitational microlensing lightcurves. The algorithm combines features of extant evolutionary algorithms with some novel ones, and fares well on the problem of fitting binary lens microlensing lightcurves, as well as on a number of other difficult optimisation problems. Furthermore, the new algorithm is conceptually simple, versatile and robust, and parallelises trivially. 2015-01-03T18:30:31Z 2015-01-03T18:30:31Z 2012 Master Thesis Masters MSc http://hdl.handle.net/11427/11219 eng application/pdf Department of Astronomy Faculty of Science University of Cape Town |
