We demonstrate that the Linear Multidimensional Assignment Problem with iid random costs is polynomially "-approximable almost surely (a. s.) via a simple greedy heuristic, f...
Simulated annealing and the (1+1) EA, a simple evolutionary algorithm, are both general randomized search heuristics that optimize any objective function with probability
Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) has become quite popular in recent years. In contrast to many successful applications, the theoretical foundation of this randomized search heuristic...
We present a new deterministic sorting algorithm that interleaves the partitioning of a sample sort with merging. Sequentially, it sorts n elements in O(n log n) time cache-oblivi...
A K-smoothing network is a distributed, low-contention data structure where tokens arrive arbitrarily on w input wires and reach w output wires via their completely asynchronous p...
