We focus on the Golomb ruler problem, a hard constrained combinatorial optimization problem. Two alternative encodings are considered, one based on the direct representation of sol...
Abstract. Evolutionary algorithms are powerful tools in search and optimization tasks with several applications in complex engineering problems. However, setting all associated par...

Abstract. This paper provides an empirical test of a hypothesis, which describes the effects of structural mechanisms in genetic programming. In doing so, the paper offers a test p...

Abstract. Bucket elimination (BE) is an exact technique based on variable elimination, commonly used for solving constraint satisfaction problems. We consider the hybridization of ...
In this work the performance of several local search and metaheuristic methods is compared to previously reported work using evolutionary algorithms. The results show that while m...
