Abstract. The quadratic assignment problem arises in a variety of practical settings. It is known to be among the hardest combinatorial problems for exact algorithms. Therefore, a ...
A preprocessing procedure that uses a local guided search defined in terms of a neighborhood structure to get a feasible solution (UB) and the Osorio and Glover[18, 20] exploiting ...
In the running of a genetic algorithm, the population is liable to be con ned in the local optimum, that is the metastable state, making an equilibrium. It is known that, after a l...
Abstract. This paper presents a general approach to the Abstract Interpretation of Prolog programs with cut. In most of previous approaches the cut primitive is merely ignored. Our...
In this paper we derive a simpler form of Particle Swarm Optimiser (PSO) which still retains the key properties of the original model. We do so by progressively altering the origin...
