Abstract—We aim to enhance the end-to-end rate of a general dual-hop relay network with multiple channels and finite modulation formats, by jointly optimizing channel pairing, p...
We propose a fully sequential indifference-zone selection procedure that is specifically for use within an optimization-via-simulation algorithm when simulation is costly, and par...
Abstract. We describe and critique the convergence properties of filterbased evolutionary pattern search algorithms (F-EPSAs). F-EPSAs implicitly use a filter to perform a multi-...
Evolutionary algorithms (EAs) have been applied with success to many numerical and combinatorial optimization problems in recent years. However, they often lose their effectivenes...
The repair kit problem is that of finding the optimal set of parts in the kit of a repairman. An important aspect of this problem, in many real-life situations, is that several jo...
