This paper uses dynamic programming to investigate when contestants should use lifelines or when they should just stop answering in the TV quiz show ‘Who wants to be a millionai...
The purpose of this paper is to learn the order of criteria of lexicographic decision under various reasonable assumptions. We give a sample evaluation and an oracle based algorit...
Evolutionary algorithms (EA) are optimisation techniques inspired from natural evolution processes. They handle a population of individuals that evolve with the help of informatio...
In this paper, we present a model allowing to determine the weights related to interacting criteria. This is done on the basis of the knowledge of a partial ranking over a referen...
A new algorithm called Enhanced Continuous Tabu Search (ECTS) is proposed for the global optimization of multiminima functions. It results from an adaptation of combinatorial Tabu...
