The second harmonic generation case-study as a gateway for es to quantum control problems
The Second Harmonic Generation (SHG), a process that turns out to be a good test case in the physics lab, can also be considered as a fairly simple theoretical test function for g...

Rigorous analyses of simple diversity mechanisms
It is widely assumed and observed in experiments that the use of diversity mechanisms in evolutionary algorithms may have a great impact on its running time. Up to now there is no...
