We propose to selectively remove examples from the training set using probabilistic estimates related to editing algorithms (Devijver and Kittler, 1982). This heuristic procedure ...
STSP seeks a pair of pickup and delivery tours in two distinct networks, where the two tours are related by LIFO contraints. We address here the problem approximability. We notabl...
Smale's -theory uses estimates related to the convergence of Newton's method to give criteria implying that Newton iterations will converge quadratically to solutions to ...
Abstract. We show how to use the parallelized kangaroo method for computing invariants in real quadratic function fields. Specifically, we show how to apply the kangaroo method to ...
Abstract. Global optimization seeks a minimum or maximum of a multimodal function over a discrete or continuous domain. In this paper, we propose a hybrid heuristic – based on th...
