Optimizing combinations of placements of parts, known as markers, is an important preparatory step in order-based industrial production of clothes. Given a work order in the form ...
Genetic algorithms are often applied to combinatorial optimization problems, the most popular one probably being the traveling salesperson problem. In contrast to permutations use...
Evolutionary algorithms (EAs) have been applied with success to many numerical and combinatorial optimization problems in recent years. However, they often lose their effectivenes...
This paper describes a new simple operator for Evolutionary Algorithms (EA) to climb ridged landscapes. Categories and Subject Descriptors: I.2.8 [Computing Methodologies]: Proble...
Abstract. We propose a simple, general, randomized technique to reduce certain geometric optimization problems to their corresponding decision problems. These reductions increase t...
