Multi-field packet classification is a key enabling function of a variety of network applications, such as firewall processing, Quality of Service differentiation, traffic billing...
The interplay between the mutation operator and the selection mechanism plays a fundamental role in the behaviour of evolutionary algorithms (EAs). However, this interplay is stil...
Minimizing the rank of a matrix subject to constraints is a challenging problem that arises in many applications in machine learning, control theory, and discrete geometry. This c...
We present a class of inexact adaptive multilevel trust-region SQP-methods for the efficient solution of optimization problems governed by nonlinear partial differential equations...
The distribution of fitness values across a set of states sharply influences the dynamics of evolutionary processes and heuristic search in combinatorial optimization. In this p...
