We consider the problem of finding small Golomb rulers, a hard combinatorial optimization task. This problem is here tackled by means of a hybrid evolutionary algorithm (EA). This...
Abstract. This paper presents a Parallel Hybrid Evolutionary Metaheuristic for the Period Vehicle Routing Problem PVRP. The PRVP generalizes the classical Vehicle Routing Problem b...
We present a new Immune Algorithm that incorporates a simple local search procedure to improve the overall performances to tackle the graph coloring problem instances. We character...
Abstract. We discuss a general approach to hybridize traditional construction heuristics for combinatorial optimization problems with numerical based evolutionary algorithms. There...
