We focus on the Golomb ruler problem, a hard constrained combinatorial optimization problem. Two alternative encodings are considered, one based on the direct representation of sol...
We analyze various forms of the Frequency Assignment Problem using the theory of elementary landscapes. We show that three variants of the Frequency Assignment Problem are either ...

This work analyzes fitness landscapes for the image filter design problem approached using functional-level Cartesian Genetic Programming. Smoothness and ruggedness of fitness l...
Cooperative co-evolution is often used to solve difficult optimization problems by means of problem decomposition. Its performance for such tasks can vary widely from good to disa...
In combinatorial solution spaces Iterated Local Search (ILS) turns out to be exceptionally successful. The question arises: is ILS also capable of improving the optimization proces...
