Abstract. In this paper we propose an optimal anytime version of constrained simulated annealing (CSA) for solving constrained nonlinear programming problems (NLPs). One of the goa...
Abstract. The classic NFL theorems are invariably cast in terms of single objective optimization problems. We confirm that the classic NFL theorem holds for general multiobjective ...
Abstract. The maximum diversity problem (MDP) consists of identifying optimally diverse subsets of elements from some larger collection. The selection of elements is based on the d...

This paper analyzes the behavior of a selectorecombinative genetic algorithm (GA) with an ideal crossover on a class of random additively decomposable problems (rADPs). Specifical...
When a paid price discount activity occurs, the decisionmaker must decide whether or not and when to pay the additional fees for preferential price in an online fashion. This prob...
