In this study, a new mechanism that adapts the mutation rate for each locus on the chromosomes, based on feedback obtained from the current population is proposed. Through tests us...
We present an experimental investigation of tabu search (TS) to solve the 3-coloring problem (3-COL). Computational results reveal that a basic TS algorithm is able to find proper ...
Problems that can be sampled randomly are a good source of test suites for comparing quality of constraint satisfaction techniques. Quasigroup problems are representatives of struc...
Abstract. In [8], Freuder defined interchangeability for classical Constraint Satisfaction Problems (CSPs). Recently [2], we extended the definition of interchangeability to Soft ...
Abstract. We study the experimental consequences of a recent theoretical result by Achlioptas et al. that shows that conventional models of random problems are trivially insoluble ...
