Optimization problems involving collections of dependent objects
We describe a class of problems motivated by numerous real-world applications where there is a collection of objects that have both a cost and a value, but where some of those obj...

On two problems concerning end extensions
We study problems of Clote and Paris, concerning the existence of end extensions of models of n-collection. We continue the study of the notion of ` -fullness', begun by Wilki...

Codd's Self-Replicating Computer
Edgar Codd's 1968 design for a self-replicating cellular automata machine has never been implemented. Partly this is due to its enormous size but we have also identified four...

In-Place Algorithms for Computing (Layers of) Maxima
We describe space-efficient algorithms for solving problems related to finding maxima among points in two and three dimensions. Our algorithms run in optimal O(n log n) time and oc...

A Generic Algorithm Template for Divide-and-Conquer in Multicore Systems
The divide-and-conquer pattern of parallelism is a powerful approach to organize parallelism on problems that are expressed naturally in a recursive way. In fact, recent tools such...

An analysis of the operation of differential evolution at high and low crossover rates
Abstract—A key parameter affecting the operation of differential evolution (DE) is the crossover rate Cr ∈ [0, 1]. While very low values are recommended for and used with separ...
