Starting from some simple observations on a popular selection method in Evolutionary Algorithms (EAs)--tournament selection--we highlight a previously-unknown source of inefficien...
In this paper we introduce an evolutionary algorithm for solving a copper mine planning problem. In the last 10 years this realworld problem has been tackled using linear integer p...
— In this paper, a multi-agent based evolutionary algorithm (MAEA) is introduced to solve dynamic optimization problems. The agents simulate living organism features and co-evolv...

Abstract—Hybrid methods are very popular for solving problems from combinatorial optimization. In contrast to this the theoretical understanding of the interplay of different opt...

Abstract- Branch-and-Bound and evolutionary algorithms represent two very different approaches for tackling combinatorial optimization problems. These approaches are not incompatib...
