This paper presents an improved version of a simple evolution strategy (SES) to solve global nonlinear optimization problems. As its previous version, the approach does not require...
Abstract. In this paper, we review some classical recombination operations and devise new heuristic recombinations for the fixed-length subset. Our experimental results on the cla...
This paper proposes a two-phase hybrid approach for the travelling salesman problem (TSP). The first phase is based on a sequence based genetic algorithm (SBGA) with an embedded lo...
Using an improved backtrack algorithm with sophisticated pruning techniques, we revise previous observations correlating a high frequency of hard to solve Hamiltonian cycle instan...
Arc-Consistency (AC) techniques have been used extensively in the study of Constraint Satisfaction Problems (CSP). These techniques are used to simplify the CSP before or during th...
