The quadratic assignment problem (QAP) is a central problem in combinatorial optimization. Several famous computationally hard tasks, such as graph matching, partitioning, and the...
Abstract. The paper focuses on the efficiency of the hybrid evolutionary algorithm (HEA) for solving the global optimization problem arising in electronic imaging. The particular v...
t] Based on the mutation matrix formalism and past statistics of genetic algorithm, a Markov Chain transition probability matrix is introduced to provide a guided search for comple...
: Evolutionary algorithms are effective search tools for tackling difficult optimization problems. In this paper an algorithm based on living processes where cooperation is the mai...
