Algorithms (X, sigma, eta): Quasi-random Mutations for Evolution Strategies
Randomization is an efficient tool for global optimization. We here define a method which keeps : – the order 0 of evolutionary algorithms (no gradient) ; – the stochastic as...

Using the Max-Plus Algorithm for Multiagent Decision Making in Coordination Graphs
Abstract. Coordination graphs offer a tractable framework for cooperative multiagent decision making by decomposing the global payoff function into a sum of local terms. Each age...

Emulation of a PRAM on Leveled Networks
There is an interesting class of ICNs, which includes the star graph and the n-way shuffle, for which the network diameter is sub-logarithmic in the network size. This paper prese...

Branching Strategies to Improve Regularity of Crew Schedules in Ex-Urban Public Transit
We discuss timetables in ex-urban bus traffic that consist of many trips serviced every day together with some exceptions that do not repeat daily. Traditional optimization methods...
