As the Flexible Job Shop Scheduling Problem (or FJSP) is strongly NP-hard, using an evolutionary approach to find near-optimal solutions requires effective chromosome representatio...
Hybrid algorithms that combine genetic algorithms with the Nelder-Mead simplex algorithm have been effective in solving certain optimization problems. In this article, we apply a s...

The toxicity of an anticancer drug is cleared from the body by different processes, including saturable metabolic and nonsaturable renal-excretion pathways. According to the princ...
Abstract. We explore a new general-purpose heuristic for nding highquality solutions to hard optimization problems. The method, called extremal optimization, is inspired by self-or...
