A new evolutionary algorithm, Elitistic Evolution (termed EEv), is proposed in this paper. EEv is an evolutionary method for numerical optimization with adaptive behavior. EEv uses...
Ant colony optimization (ACO) has been widely used for different combinatorial optimization problems. In this paper, we investigate ACO algorithms with respect to their runtime beh...
We investigate some approaches to solving nonconvex global optimization problems by convex nonlinear programming methods. We assume that the problem becomes convex when selected va...
: Nowadays, solving nonsmooth (not necessarily differentiable) optimization problems plays a very important role in many areas of industrial applications. Most of the algorithms d...
ÐWe propose a novel approach for solving the perceptual grouping problem in vision. Rather than focusing on local features and their consistencies in the image data, our approach ...
