Some New Ramsey Colorings
New lower bounds for 15 classical Ramsey numbers are established. Several of the colorings are found using a new variation of local search heuristics. Several others are found usi...

How to use the Scuba Diving metaphor to solve problem with neutrality ?
Abstract. We proposed a new search heuristic using the scuba diving metaphor. This approach is based on the concept of evolvability and tends to exploit neutrality which exists in ...

Scuba Search : when selection meets innovation
— We proposed a new search heuristic using the scuba diving metaphor. This approach is based on the concept of evolvability and tends to exploit neutrality in fitness landscape....

Automated Discovery of Local Search Heuristics for Satisfiability Testing
The development of successful metaheuristic algorithms such as local search for a difficult problems such as satisfiability testing (SAT) is a challenging task. We investigate an ...

Evolving Local Search Heuristics for SAT Using Genetic Programming
Satisfiability testing (SAT) is a very active area of research today, with numerous real-world applications. We describe CLASS2.0, a genetic programming system for semi-automatica...

Price of Anarchy, Locality Gap, and a Network Service Provider Game
In this paper, we define a network service provider game. We show that the price of anarchy of the defined game can be bounded by analyzing a local search heuristic for a related...
