Recombination in the Genetic Algorithm (GA) is supposed to enable the component characteristics from two parents to be extracted and then reassembled in different combinations
Algebraic multigrid methods offer the hope that multigrid convergence can be achieved (for at least some important applications) without a great deal of effort from engineers an...
We build on the classical greedy sequential set cover algorithm, in the spirit of the primal-dual schema, to obtain simple parallel approximation algorithms for the set cover probl...
