We analyze the performance of evolutionary algorithms on various matroid optimization problems that encompass a vast number of efficiently solvable as well as NP-hard combinatoria...
We give a deterministic algorithm to find the minimum cut in a surface-embedded graph in near-linear time. Given an undirected graph embedded on an orientable surface of genus g,...
Given a connected, weighted, undirected graph G and a bound D, the bounded-diameter minimum spanning tree problem seeks a spanning tree on G of lowest weight in which no path betw...
Abstract. In recent years, probabilistic analyses of algorithms have received increasing attention. Despite results on the average-case complexity and smoothed complexity of exact ...
This article surveys three techniques for enhancing heuristic game-tree search pioneered in the author's Othello program Logistello, which dominated the computer Othello scen...
