Ensuring building-block (BB) mixing is critical to the success of genetic and evolutionary algorithms. This study develops facetwise models to predict the BB mixing time and the po...
Lower bounds on the bandwidth, the size of a vertex separator of general undirected graphs, and the largest common subgraph of two undirected (weighted) graphs are obtained. The b...
