The properties of symmetric fitness functions are investigated. We show that a well-known encoding scheme inducing symmetric functions has the non-synonymous property and the sear...
Given a connected, undirected graph G with labeled edges, the minimum-label spanning tree problem seeks a spanning tree on G to whose edges are attached the smallest possible numb...
This paper introduces a novel analogy with the way in which honeybee colonies operate in order to solve the problem of sparse and quasi dense reconstruction. To successfully solve...
Derandomization by means of mirroring has been recently introduced to enhance the performances of (1, λ)-EvolutionStrategies (ESs) with the aim of designing fast robust local sea...
We introduce the concept of "minimal" search algorithm for a set of functions to optimize. We investigate the structure of closed under permutation (c.u.p.) sets and we c...
