The shape of a NURBS curve or patch is defined by the location of its control points, the weights associated with these points, and the parameter intervals, also called the knot v...
This paper proposes an estimation of distribution algorithm (EDA) aiming at addressing globally multimodal problems, i.e., problems that present several global optima. It can be r...
Deceptive problems have always been considered difficult for Genetic Algorithms. To cope with this characteristic, the literature has proposed the use of Parallel Genetic Algorith...
Generalized geometric programming (GGP) is an optimization method in which the objective function and constraints are nonconvex functions. Thus, a GGP problem includes multiple lo...
Given a set of strings S of equal lengths over an alphabet Σ, the closest string problem seeks a string over Σ whose maximum Hamming distance to any of the given strings is as s...
