We consider a special subgraph of a weighted directed graph: one comprising only the k heaviest edges incoming to each vertex. We show that the maximum weight branching in this su...
Abstract— The Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm is a robust stochastic evolutionary computation technique based on the movement and intelligence of swarms. This paper p...
Abstract- Seeding the population of an evolutionary algorithm with solutions from previous runs has proved to be useful when learning control strategies for agents operating in a c...

Permutations of vertices can represent constrained spanning trees for evolutionary search via a decoder based on Prim’s algorithm, and random keys can represent permutations. Tho...
We present a novel method for automatically acquiring strategies for the double auction by combining evolutionary optimization together with a principled game-theoretic analysis. ...
