Permutations of vertices can represent constrained spanning trees for evolutionary search via a decoder based on Prim’s algorithm, and random keys can represent permutations. Tho...
This paper proposes a novel recombination scheme for evolutionary algorithms, which can guide the new population generation towards the maximum increase of the objective function....
The problem of finding optimal locations of base stations, their pilot powers and channel assignments in UMTS mobile networks belongs to a class of NP-hard problems, and hence, me...
A possible alternative to fine topology tuning for Neural Network (NN) optimization is to use Echo State Networks (ESNs), recurrent NNs built upon a large reservoir of sparsely r...
Abstract. The Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Windows is a complex combinatorial optimization problem which can be seen as a fusion of two well known sub-problems: the Travelling...
