We present a simple framework for dealing with search spaces consisting of permutations. To demonstrate its usefulness, we build upon it a simple (1 + 1)-evolutionary algorithm fo...
straction is a useful tool for agents interacting with environments. Good state abstractions are compact, reuseable, and easy to learn from sample data. This paper and extends two...
The two-band discrete wavelet transform (DWT) provides an octave-band analysis in the frequency domain, but this might not be "optimal" for a given signal. The discrete w...
Using the concept of discrete noiseless channels, it was shown by Shannon in A Mathematical Theory of Communication that the ultimate performance of an encoder for a constrained sy...
This article addresses an extension of the multi-depot vehicle routing problem in which vehicles may be replenished at intermediate depots along their route. It proposes a heurist...
