Statistical analysis of heuristics for evolving sorting networks
Designing efficient sorting networks has been a challenging combinatorial optimization problem since the early 1960’s. The application of evolutionary computing to this problem ...

On the average case performance of some greedy approximation algorithms for the uncapacitated facility location problem
In combinatorial optimization, a popular approach to NP-hard problems is the design of approximation algorithms. These algorithms typically run in polynomial time and are guarante...

The coolest path problem
We introduce the coolest path problem, which is a mixture of two well-known problems from distinct mathematical fields. One of them is the shortest path problem from combinatorial ...
