Many backtracking algorithms exhibit heavy-tailed distributions, in which their running time is often much longer than their median. We analyze the behavior of two natural variant...
Cellular Genetic Algorithms (cGAs) are a subclass of Genetic Algorithms (GAs) in which the population diversity and exploration are enhanced thanks to the existence of small overla...
Abstract. Many important software systems are written in the C programming language. Unfortunately, the C language does not provide strong safety guarantees, and many common progra...
