Abstract. Three theoretical perspectives upon conservation of performance in function optimization are outlined. In terms of statistical information, performance is conserved when ...
It is widely assumed and observed in experiments that the use of diversity mechanisms in evolutionary algorithms may have a great impact on its running time. Up to now there is no...
We construct an efficient probabilistic algorithm that, given a finite set with a binary operation, tests if it is an abelian group. The distance used is an analogue of the edit d...
In this paper, we offer an exposition of a theorem originally due to Adleman, Demarrais and Huang that shows that the quantum complexity class BQP (Bounded-error Quantum Polynomia...
We investigate a higher-order query language that embeds operators of the positive relational algebra within the simply-typed λ-calculus. Our language allows one to succinctly de...
