IP problems characterise combinatorial optimisation problems where conventional numerical methods based on the hill-climbing technique can not be directly applied. Conventional me...
We present smooth interpretation, a method to systematically approximate numerical imperative programs by smooth mathematical functions. This approximation facilitates the use of ...
The result of the program encoded into a Genetic Programming (GP) tree is usually returned by the root of that tree. However, this is not a general strategy. In this paper we pres...
This paper introduces a new approach to the problem of quantitative reconstruction of an object from few radiographic views. A mixed variable programming problem is formulated in ...
