In this paper we address the problem of using quaternions in unconstrained nonlinear optimization of 3-D rotations. Quaternions representing rotations have four elements but only ...
— Many deterministic algorithms in the context of constrained optimization require the first-order derivatives, or the gradient vectors, of the objective and constraint function...

In this paper, we borrow the concept of reference direction approach from the multi-criterion decision-making literature and combine it with an EMO procedure to develop an algorit...
Optimization of the control parameters of genetic algorithms is often a time consuming and tedious task. In this work we take the meta-level genetic algorithm approach to control ...
In this paper we present an algorithm for generating quadratic assignment problem (QAP) instances with known provably optimal solution. The flow matrix of such instances is constru...
