Abstract. Recent analysis of sequential algorithms resulted in their axiomatization and in a representation theorem stating that, for any sealgorithm, there is an abstract state ma...
In this paper we explore the model–building issue of multiobjective optimization estimation of distribution algorithms. We argue that model–building has some characteristics t...
