Simulated annealing (SA) and deterministic continuation are well-known generic approaches to global optimization. Deterministic continuation is computationally attractive but produ...
: A wealth of current research in microengineering aims at fabricating devices of increasing complexity, notably by (self-)assembling elementary components into heterogeneous funct...
In this paper we consider a multi-server queue with a near general arrival process (represented as an arbitrary state-dependent Coxian distribution), a near general state-dependent...
Following recent work of Clarkson, we translate the coreset framework to the problems of finding the point closest to the origin inside a polytope, finding the shortest distance...
Recently, advances have been made in continuous, normal– distribution–based Estimation–of–Distribution Algorithms (EDAs) by scaling the variance up from the maximum–like...
