An explicit exploration strategy is necessary in reinforcement learning (RL) to balance the need to reduce the uncertainty associated with the expected outcome of an action and the...
In this contribution, the use of a new genetic operator is proposed. The main advantage of using this operator is that it is able to assist the evolution procedure to converge fast...

Researchers studying Evolutionary Algorithms and their applications have always been confronted with the sample complexity problem. The relationship between population size and gl...
We present a formal specification of the PING protocol, and use three concepts of convergence theory, namely closure, convergence, and protection, to show that this protocol is se...
The stochastic root-finding problem (SRFP) is that of solving a system of q equations in q unknowns using only an oracle that provides estimates of the function values. This paper...
