In the symmetric group on a set of size 2n, let P2n denote the conjugacy class of involutions with no fixed points (equivalently, we refer to these as “pairings”, since each ...
Abstract. According to the No Free Lunch (NFL) theorems all blackbox algorithms perform equally well when compared over the entire set of optimization problems. An important proble...
Nurse rostering is a difficult search problem with many constraints. In the literature, a number of approaches have been investigated including penalty function methods to tackle t...

Many bio-inspired algorithms (evolutionary algorithms, artificial immune systems, particle swarm optimisation, ant colony optimisation, …) are based on populations of agents. Ste...
In this paper an evolutionary algorithm is used for evolving gaits in a walking biped robot controller. The focus is fast learning in a real-time environment. An incremental appro...
