By introducing redundant Klee-Minty examples, we have previously shown that the central path can be bent along the edges of the Klee-Minty cubes, thus having 2n - 2 sharp turns in...
Estimation of distribution algorithms (EDAs) are population-based heuristic search methods that use probabilistic models of good solutions to guide their search. When applied to co...
There are many applications related to singly linearly constrained quadratic programs subjected to upper and lower bounds. In this paper, a new algorithm based on secant approximat...
The kernel function plays a central role in kernel methods. In this paper, we consider the automated learning of the kernel matrix over a convex combination of pre-specified kerne...
We consider the generalized assignment problem in which the objective is to find a minimum cost assignment of a set of jobs to a set of agents subject to resource constraints. Th...
