Scientists use two forms of knowledge in the construction of explanatory models: generalized entities and processes that relate them; and constraints that specify acceptable combi...
We develop algorithms for computing the smallest enclosing ball of a set of n balls in d-dimensional space. Unlike previous methods, we explicitly address small cases (n ≤ d + 1...
Diversity and memory are two major mechanisms used in biology to keep the adaptability of organisms in the everchanging environment in nature. These mechanisms can be integrated i...
In order to solve nonstationary optimization problems efficiently, evolutionary algorithms need sufficient diversity to adapt to environmental changes. The dual-population genetic...
