It has previously been shown analytically and experimentally that continuous Estimation of Distribution Algorithms (EDAs) based on the normal pdf can easily suffer from premature ...
Abstract--In business analysis, models are sometimes oversimplified. We pragmatically approach many problems with a single financial objective and include monetary values for non-m...

Algorithms based on local search are popular for solving many optimization problems including the maximum satisfiability problem (MAXSAT). With regard to MAXSAT, the state of the ...
We study the convergence properties of an alternating proximal minimization algorithm for nonconvex structured functions of the type: L(x, y) = f(x)+Q(x, y)+g(y), where f : Rn → ...
Bid-based Genetic Programming (GP) provides an elegant mechanism for facilitating cooperative problem decomposition without an a priori specification of the number of team member...
