Many non-cooperative settings that could potentially be studied using game theory are characterized by having very large strategy spaces and payoffs that are costly to compute. Be...
The performance of genetic programming relies mostly on population-contained variation. If the population diversity is low then there will be a greater chance of the algorithm bein...
We present an "adaptive multi-start" genetic algorithm for the Euclidean traveling salesman problem that uses a population of tours locally optimized by the Lin-Kernigha...

In orthodontics, retraction springs made of metallic wires are often used to move a tooth with respect to another by the virtue of the spring back effect. Specially selected form o...
Many metaheuristics have difficulty exploring their search space comprehensively. Exploration time and efficiency are highly dependent on the size and the ruggedness of the search...
