The connected facility location (ConFL) problem generalizes the facility location problem and the Steiner tree problem in graphs. Given a graph G = (V, E), a set of customers D ⊆...
The covariance matrix adaptation evolution strategy (CMAES) has proven to be a powerful method for reinforcement learning (RL). Recently, the CMA-ES has been augmented with an ada...
This paper analyzes and improves the linearized Bregman method for solving the basis pursuit and related sparse optimization problems. The analysis shows that the linearized Bregma...
Let us consider an ordered vector A[1 : n]. If the cost of testing each position is similar, then the standard binary search is the best strategy to search the vector. This is true...
Evolutionary search algorithms have become an essential asset in the algorithmic toolbox for solving high-dimensional optimization problems in across a broad range of bioinformati...
