The challenge of maximizing the diversity of a collection of points arises in a variety of settings, including the setting of search methods for hard optimization problems. One ver...
The generalized traveling salesman problem (GTSP) is an NPhard problem that extends the classical traveling salesman problem by partitioning the nodes into clusters and looking fo...
In this paper, a new method for assigning credit to search operators is presented. Starting with the principle of optimizing search bias, search operators are selected based on an...
A depth-first search algorithm can be used to find optimal solutions of a Constraint Satisfaction Problem (CSP) with respect to a set of conditional preferences statements (e.g.,...
When we try to implement a multi-objective genetic algorithm (MOGA) with variable weights for finding a set of Pareto optimal solutions, one difficulty lies in determining appropri...
