Tracking extrema in dynamic environments using a coevolutionary agent-based model of genotype edition
Typical applications of evolutionary optimization in static environments involve the approximation of the extrema of functions. For dynamic environments, the interest is not to lo...

Locked and unlocked chains of planar shapes
We extend linkage unfolding results from the well-studied case of polygonal linkages to the more general case of linkages of polygons. More precisely, we consider chains of nonove...

Transition-independent decentralized markov decision processes
There has been substantial progress with formal models for sequential decision making by individual agents using the Markov decision process (MDP). However, similar treatment of m...
