This paper formally presents the resident physician scheduling problem, which is one of the most important scheduling problems in hospital. The resident physician scheduling probl...
Abstract. The paper focuses on the efficiency of the hybrid evolutionary algorithm (HEA) for solving the global optimization problem arising in electronic imaging. The particular v...
In an evolutionary algorithm, the population has a very important role as its size has direct implications regarding solution quality, speed, and reliability. Theoretical studies ...
