Abstract— Meta-heuristic optimization approaches are commonly applied to many discrete optimization problems. Many of these optimization approaches are based on a local search op...
In this paper we present a Lagrange-multiplier formulation of discrete constrained optimization problems, the associated discrete-space first-order necessary and sufficient condit...
This paper presents a genetic algorithm (GA) with specialized encoding, initialization and local search genetic operators to optimize communication network topologies. This NPhard...
: Differential evolutionary (DE) mutates solution vectors by the weighted difference of other vectors using arithmetic operations. As these operations cannot be directly extended t...

In this paper, we propose new dominance relations that can speed up significantly the solution process of nonlinear constrained dynamic optimization problems in discrete time and...
