Several population-based methods (with origins in the world of evolutionary strategies and estimation-of-distribution algorithms) for black-box optimization in continuous domains ...
Discrete-event simulation is widely used to analyse and improve the performance of manufacturing systems. The related optimization problem often includes integer design variables ...

We present a probabilistic analysis for a large class of combinatorial optimization problems containing, e.g., all binary optimization problems defined by linear constraints and a...
Abstract The performance of stochastic optimisers can be assessed experimentally on given problems by performing multiple optimisation runs, and analysing the results. Since an opt...

Motivated by online ad allocation, we study the problem of simultaneous approximations for the adversarial and stochastic online budgeted allocation problem. This problem consists...
