This paper provides analysis to a generalized version of the coupon collector problem, in which the collector gets d coupons each run and he chooses the one that he has the least ...
The generalized traveling salesman problem (GTSP) is an NPhard problem that extends the classical traveling salesman problem by partitioning the nodes into clusters and looking fo...
: - This paper introduces the main ideas of the nested partitions (NP) method, analyses its efficiency theoretically and proposes the way to improve the optimization efficiency of ...
Optimization problems are more and more complex and their resource requirements are ever increasing. Although metaheuristics allow to significantly reduce the computational complex...
In some environments, a learning agent must learn to balance competing objectives. For example, a Q-learner agent may need to learn which choices expose the agent to risk and whic...
