Several population-based methods (with origins in the world of evolutionary strategies and estimation-of-distribution algorithms) for black-box optimization in continuous domains ...
Abstract-- This work presents a technology-independent synthesis optimization that is effective in reducing the total number of state elements of a design. It works by identifying ...

Approximations can aim at having close to optimal value or, alternatively, they can aim at structurally resembling an optimal solution. Whereas value-approximation has been extensi...
Based on the Proximate Optimality Principle in metaheuristics, a Population Based Guided Local Search (PGLS) framework for dealing with difficult combinatorial optimization problem...
We investigate the algorithmic performance of Vickrey-Clarke-Groves mechanisms in the single item case. We provide a formal definition of a Vickrey algorithm for this framework, a...
