Let I be a random 3CNF formula generated by choosing a truth assignment for variables x1, . . . , xn uniformly at random and including every clause with i literals set true by w...
— We present a new representation for individuals in problems that have cyclic permutations as solutions. To demonstrate its usefulness, we analyze a simple randomized local sear...
The Multidimensional Assignment Problem (MAP) is an NP-hard combinatorial optimization problem occurring in many applications, such as data association, target tracking, and resou...
