Abstract—Hybrid methods are very popular for solving problems from combinatorial optimization. In contrast to this the theoretical understanding of the interplay of different opt...

This paper focuses on the computation time of evolutionary algorithms. First, some exact expressions of the mean first hitting times of general evolutionary algorithms in finite...
Abstract— Directional biases are evident in many benchmarking problems for real-valued global optimisation, as well as many of the evolutionary and allied algorithms that have be...
This paper presents a hybrid metaheuristic approach (HMA) for solving the Unconstrained Binary Quadratic Programming (UBQP) problem. By incorporating a tabu search procedure into ...
Given a collection of terminals, each with a demand, a collection of concentrators, each with a capacity, and costs of connecting the terminals to the concentrators, the terminal ...
