Hill-climbing has been shown to be more effective than exhaustive search in solving satisfiability problems.Also, it has been used either by itself or in combination with other ...
— Memetic algorithms (MAs) combine the global exploration abilities of evolutionary algorithms with a local search to further improve the solutions. While a neighborhood can be e...

This paper presents a tabu search metaheuristic algorithm for the automatic generation of structural software tests. It is a novel work since tabu search is applied to the automat...
This paper combines the idea of a hierarchical distributed genetic algorithm with different interagent partnering strategies. Cascading clusters of sub-populations are built from ...
A new active set algorithm for minimizing quadratic functions with separable convex constraints is proposed by combining the conjugate gradient method with the projected gradient. ...
