Local search techniques have been applied in optimization methods. The effect of local search to the memetic algorithms can make multimodal and non-linear problems easier to solve...
Variable Neighbourhood Search (VNS) is one of the most recent metaheuristics used for problem solving in which a systematic change of neighbourhood within a local search is carried...
Nowadays, object recognition is widely studied under the paradigm of matching local features. This work describes a genetic programming methodology that synthesizes mathematical e...
—The university course timetabling problem (UCTP) is a combinatorial optimization problem, in which a set of events has to be scheduled into time slots and located into suitable ...
A new method is developed for representation and encoding in population-based evolutionary algorithms. The method is inspired by the biological genetic code and utilizes a many-to-...
