— Simulated Evolution (SimE) is a sound stochastic approximation algorithm based on the principles of adaptation. If properly engineered it is possible for SimE to reach nearopti...
Bandit based methods for tree search have recently gained popularity when applied to huge trees, e.g. in the game of go [6]. Their efficient exploration of the tree enables to ret...
We present IGAP, a peer to peer interactive genetic algorithm which reflects the real world methodology followed in team design. We apply our methodology to floorplanning. Throu...
An algorithm that remains in use at the core of many partitioning systems is the Kernighan-Lin algorithm and a variant the Fidducia-Matheysses (FM) algorithm. To understand the FM...
