This paper contains a new convergence analysis for the Lewis and Torczon generalized pattern search (GPS) class of methods for unconstrained and linearly constrained optimization. ...
— Reinforcement learning (RL) algorithms have long been promising methods for enabling an autonomous robot to improve its behavior on sequential decision-making tasks. The obviou...
We consider standard algorithms of finite graph theory, like for instance shortest path algorithms. We present two general methods to polynomially extend these algorithms to infi...
Fast search algorithms for finding good instances of patterns given as position specific scoring matrices are developed, and some empirical results on their performance on DNA sequ...
Estimation-of-distribution algorithm equipped with Cauchy sampling distribution is compared with the generalized generation gap algorithm with parent centric crossover. Both algor...
