In this paper we analyze O’Hara’s partition bijection. We present three type of results. First, we show that O’Hara’s bijection can be viewed geometrically as a certain sci...
We consider an optimization problem of finding the best possible offspring as a result of a recombination operator in an evolutionary algorithm, given two parent solutions. The op...
We consider submodular optimization problems, and provide a general way of translating oracle inapproximability results arising from the symmetry gap technique to computational co...
Abstract. We present upper bounds on the time and space complexity of finding the global optimum of additively separable functions, a class of functions that has been studied exten...
ngly better objective function value until an optimal solution is reached. From an abstract point of view, an augmentation problem is solved in each iteration. That is, given a fea...
