Algorithms based on local search are popular for solving many optimization problems including the maximum satisfiability problem (MAXSAT). With regard to MAXSAT, the state of the ...
Abstract. We present an island model that uses different representations in each island. The model transforms individuals from one representation to another during migrations. We ...
In this paper, we present a memetic algorithm with novel local optimizer hybridization strategy for constrained optimization. The developed MA consists of multiple cycles. In each ...
Enforced hill-climbing is an effective deterministic hillclimbing technique that deals with local optima using breadth-first search (a process called "basin flooding"). ...
In this work we present a system for implementing the placement and routing stages in the FPGA cycle of design, into the physical design stage. We start with the ISCAS benchmarks,...
