Abstract. The paper describes an evolutionary algorithm for the general nonlinear programming problem using a surrogate model. Surrogate models are used in optimization when model ...
The minimization problem for Horn formulas is to find a Horn formula equivalent to a given Horn formula, using a minimum number of clauses. A 2log1−ǫ (n) -inapproximability re...
The bootstrap resampling method may be efficiently used to estimate the generalization error of a family of nonlinear regression models, as artificial neural networks. The main dif...

We study a general class of problems called F -Deletion problems. In an F -Deletion problem, we are asked whether a subset of at most k vertices can be deleted from a graph G such...

Consider a 0/1 integer program min{cT x : Ax b, x {0, 1}n } where A is nonnegative. We show that if the number of minimal covers of Ax b is polynomially bounded, then there is ...
