— The problem of placing an arbitrary subset (m) of the (n) closed loop eigenvalues of a nth order continuous time single input linear time invariant(LTI) system, using full stat...
The conservation of wildlife corridors between existing habitat preserves is important for combating the effects of habitat loss and fragmentation facing species of concern. We in...

Abstract. We explore a new general-purpose heuristic for nding highquality solutions to hard optimization problems. The method, called extremal optimization, is inspired by self-or...

We consider a kernel-based approach to nonlinear classification that coordinates the generation of “synthetic” points (to be used in the kernel) with “chunking” (working wi...
—A cooperative coevolutionary algorithm (CCEA) is an extension to an evolutionary algorithm (EA); it employs a divide and conquer strategy to solve an optimization problem. In it...
