We introduce the notion of a stable instance for a discrete optimization problem, and argue that in many practical situations only sufficiently stable instances are of interest. T...
Stochastic programming problems appear as mathematical models for optimization problems under stochastic uncertainty. Most computational approaches for solving such models are base...
— Physical carrier sense for wireless multihop networks has attracted a certain degree of attention since it is a simple yet important mechanism for distributed channel access. S...
The phenomenon of particle bursts, a well-known feature of PSO is investigated. Their origin is concluded to lie in multiplicative stochasticity, previously encountered in the stu...
This paper presents an application of the Fusion-Fission method to the multi-way graph partitioning problem. The Fusion-Fission method was first designed to solve the normalized c...
