Not all linear functions are equally difficult for the compact genetic algorithm
Estimation of distribution algorithms (EDAs) try to solve an optimization problem by finding a probability distribution focussed around its optima. For this purpose they conduct ...

Truly distribution-independent algorithms for the N-body problem
The N - body problem is to simulate the motion of N particles under the influence of mutual force fields based on an inverse square law. Greengard's algorithm claims to compu...

Self-improving Algorithms for Convex Hulls
We describe an algorithm for computing planar convex hulls in the self-improving model: given a sequence I1, I2, . . . of planar n-point sets, the upper convex hull conv(I) of eac...
