The rough surface inverse scattering problem is approached with a combination of evolutionary strategies and the simplex method. The surface, assumed one-dimensional and perfectly ...
A hybrid evolutionary algorithm (EA) for the p-median problem consist of two stages, each of which is a steady-state hybrid EA. These EAs encode selections of medians as subsets o...
