Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) is inspired by the ability of ant colonies to find shortest paths between their nest and a food source. We analyze the running time of different ACO...
: River Formation Dynamics (RFD) is an evolutionary computation method based on copying how drops form rivers by eroding the ground and depositing sediments. Given a cost-evaluated...
In order to maintain a reliable and economic electric power supply, the maintenance of power plants is becoming increasingly important. In this paper, a formulation that enables a...
Given an algebraic number field K, such that [K : Q] is constant, we show that the problem of computing the units group O∗ K is in the complexity class SPP. As a consequence, w...
Abstract. In the context of mining frequent itemsets, numerous strategies have been proposed to push several types of constraints within the most well known algorithms. In this pap...
