The micro-genetic operator in the search of global trends
This work studies the mGA operator (Micro Genetic Algorithm), that has been proposed in literature as a “local search” operator for optimization with Genetic Algorithm. A new ...

Coordinate change operators for genetic algorithms
This paper studies the issue of space coordinate change in genetic algorithms, based on two methods: convex quadratic approximations, and principal component analysis. In both met...

Globally convergent limited memory bundle method for large-scale nonsmooth optimization
Many practical optimization problems involve nonsmooth (that is, not necessarily differentiable) functions of thousands of variables. In the paper [Haarala, Miettinen, M¨akel¨a,...

Rook Jumping Maze Design Considerations
We define the Rook Jumping Maze, provide historical perspective, and describe a generation method for such mazes. When applying stochastic local search algorithms to maze design, m...

An alternative view of variational Bayes and asymptotic approximations of free energy
Bayesian learning, widely used in many applied data-modeling problems, is often accomplished with approximation schemes because it requires intractable computation of the posterio...
