Evolutionary algorithms and matroid optimization problems
We analyze the performance of evolutionary algorithms on various matroid optimization problems that encompass a vast number of efficiently solvable as well as NP-hard combinatoria...

A Hierarchical Social Metaheuristic for the Max-Cut Problem
This paper introduces a new social metaheuristic for the Max-Cut problem applied to a weighted undirected graph. This problem consists in finding a partition of the nodes into two ...

A Randomized Algorithm for Flow Shop Scheduling
Abstract. Shop scheduling problems are known to be notoriously intractable, both in theory and practice. In this paper we give a randomized approximation algorithm for flow shop s...

An Evolutionary Local Search Algorithm for the Satisfiability Problem
Satisfiability problem is an NP-complete problem that finds itself or its variants in many combinatorial problems. There exist many complete algorithms that give successful results...

On Worst-Case to Average-Case Reductions for NP Problems
We show that if an NP-complete problem has a non-adaptive self-corrector with respect to a samplable distribution then coNP is contained in NP/poly and the polynomial hierarchy co...
