The Swath Segment Selection Problem (SSSP) is an NP-hard combinatorial optimization problem arising in the context of planning and scheduling satellite operations. It was defined ...

This paper introduces a niching technique called GAS (S stands for species) which dynamically creates a subpopulation structure (taxonomic chart) using a radius function instead of...
Estimation of distribution algorithms (EDAs) that use marginal product model factorizations have been widely applied to a broad range of, mainly binary, optimization problems. In ...
Abstract. Evolutionary algorithms have been shown to be very successful for a wide range of NP-hard combinatorial optimization problems. We investigate the NP-hard problem of compu...

In this paper we rigorously prove the validity of the cavity method for the problem of counting the number of matchings in graphs with large girth. Cavity method is an important he...
