A Hybrid of Inference and Local Search for Distributed Combinatorial Optimization
We present a new hybrid algorithm for local search in distributed combinatorial optimization. This method is a mix between classical local search methods in which nodes take decis...

Nonstationary Function Optimization using the Structured Genetic Algorithm
In this paper, we describe the application of a new type of genetic algorithm called the Structured Genetic Algorithm (sGA) for function optimization in nonstationary environments...

On Khachiyan's algorithm for the computation of minimum-volume enclosing ellipsoids
Given A := {a1, . . . , am} ⊂ Rd whose affine hull is Rd, we study the problems of computing an approximate rounding of the convex hull of A and an approximation to the minimum ...

Genetic drift in univariate marginal distribution algorithm
Like Darwinian-type genetic algorithms, there also exists genetic drift in Univariate Marginal Distribution Algorithm (UMDA). Since the universal analysis of genetic drift in UMDA...
