Abstract. We describe some new, simple and apparently general methods for designing FPT algorithms, and illustrate how these can be used to obtain a signi cantly improved FPT algor...

Abstract. We deal with a map-labeling problem, named LOFL (Leftpart Ordered Flexible Labeling), to label a set of points in a plane with polygonal obstacles. The label for each poi...
Optimization of the control parameters of genetic algorithms is often a time consuming and tedious task. In this work we take the meta-level genetic algorithm approach to control ...
A genetic local search (GLS) algorithm, which is a combination technique of genetic algorithm and local search, for the unconstrained binary quadratic programming problem (BQP) is...
This paper investigates fitness sharing in genetic programming. Implicit fitness sharing is applied to populations of programs. Three treatments are compared: raw fitness, pure fi...
