This paper presents preliminary work done on simulationbased optimization of a stochastic material-dispatching system in a retailer network. The problem we consider is one of dete...
This paper discusses novel dedicated hardware architecture for hybrid optimization based on Genetic algorithm (GA) and Simulated Annealing (SA). The proposed architecture achieves ...
We resolve in the a rmative a question of Boppana and Bui: whether simulated annealing can, with high probability and in polynomial time, nd the optimal bisection of a random grap...
The problem of figure-ground separation is tackled from the perspective of combinatorial optimization. Previous attempts have used deterministic optimization techniques based on re...
— This paper presents an improvement to the vanilla version of the simulated annealing algorithm by using opposite neighbors. This new technique, is based on the recently propose...
