This paper presents a genetic algorithm (GA) with specialized encoding, initialization and local search genetic operators to optimize communication network topologies. This NPhard...
Abstract- The Pareto optimal solutions to a multiobjective optimization problem often distribute very regularly in both the decision space and the objective space. Most existing ev...

The Linear Ordering Problem(LOP), which is a well-known NP-hard problem, has numerous applications in various fields. Using this problem as an example, we illustrate a general pro...
Among the many codings of spanning trees for evolutionary search are those based on bijections between Pr¨ufer strings—strings of n−2 vertex labels—and spanning trees on th...
Local search algorithms have been very successful for solving constraint satisfaction problems (CSP). However, a major weakness has been that local search is unable to detect unso...
