This paper presents an overview of our most recent results concerning the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) method. Techniques for the alleviation of local minima, and for detectin...
Many real world industrial applications involve finding a Hamiltonian path with minimum cost. Some instances that belong to this category are transportation routing problem, scan c...
We describe a scheme for solving Energy Minimization problems, which is based on the A∗ algorithm accomplished with appropriately chosen LP-relaxations as heuristic functions. Th...
In this paper, we provide an algorithm that systematically considers all small trees in the search space of genetic programming. These small trees are used to generate useful subr...
We study the quality of LP-based approximation methods for pure combinatorial problems. We found that the quality of the LPrelaxation is a direct function of the underlying constra...
