Abstract. There are conflicting reports over whether multiple independent runs of genetic algorithms (GAs) with small populations can reach solutions of higher quality or can fin...
The class of constraint satisfactions problems (CSPs) captures many fundamental combinatorial optimization problems such as Max Cut, Max q-Cut, Unique Games, and Max k-Sat. Recent...
One of Courcelle’s celebrated results states that if C is a class of graphs of bounded tree-width, then model-checking for monadic second order logic (MSO2) is fixed-parameter t...
Monotonicity is a simple yet significant qualitative characteristic. We consider the problem of segmenting an array in up to K segments. We want segments to be as monotonic as po...
In this paper, we propose an integrated Genetic Algorithm with Hill Climbing to solve the matrix bandwidth minimization problem, which is to reduce bandwidth by permuting rows and ...
