The (axis-parallel) stabbing number of a given set of line segments is the maximum number of segments that can be intersected by any one (axis-parallel) line. We investigate probl...
The Nelder-Mead Algorithm (NMA) is an almost half-century old method for numerical optimization, and it is a close relative of Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Differential Ev...
This paper empirically investigates parallel competent genetic algorithms (cGAs) [4]. cGAs, such as BOA [21], LINCGA [15], D5 -GA [28], can solve GA-difficult problems by automati...
Symbolic regression is a popular genetic programming (GP) application. Typically, the fitness function for this task is based on a sum-of-errors, involving the values of the depe...
In this paper we study in-network query processing in disconnected mobile environments, where both ad-hoc communication and infrastructure communication are available. Depending o...
