The parallel genetic algorithm (PGA) is a prototype of a new kind of a distributed algorithm. It is based on a parallel search by individuals all of which have the complete proble...
In this paper, we study the average case complexity of the Unique Games problem. We propose a natural semi-random model, in which a unique game instance is generated in several st...

Abstract. Finding paths in high-dimensional gemetric spaces is a provably hard problem. Recently, a general randomized planning scheme has emerged as an e ective approach to solve ...

Abstract. We show that a maximum cut of a random graph below the giantcomponent threshold can be found in linear space and linear expected time by a simple algorithm. In fact, the ...
Scatter search is an evolutionary method that has been successfully applied to hard optimization problems. The fundamental concepts and principles of the method were first propose...
