"Squeaky Wheel" Optimization
We describe a general approach to optimization which we term Squeaky Wheel" Optimization SWO. In SWO, a greedy algorithm is used to construct a solution which is then analyze...

Super Solutions in Constraint Programming
To improve solution robustness, we introduce the concept of super solutions to constraint programming. An (a, b)-super solution is one in which if a variables lose their values, th...

A Primal-Dual Exterior Point Method for Nonlinear Optimization
In this paper, a primal dual method for general possible nonconvex nonlinear optimization problems is considered. The method is an exterior point type method which means that it p...

Markov chain models of bare-bones particle swarm optimizers
We apply a novel theoretical approach to better understand the behaviour of different types of bare-bones PSOs. It avoids many common but unrealistic assumptions often used in an...
