One common characterization of how simple hill-climbing optimization methods can fail is that they become trapped in local optima - a state where no small modi cation of the curren...
Genetic Algorithms (GAs) are well-known heuristic algorithms and have been widely applied to solve combinatorial problems. Edge recombination is one of the famous crossovers design...
A directed multigraph is said to be d-regular if the indegree and outdegree of every vertex is exactly d. By Hall’s theorem one can represent such a multigraph as a combination ...
Background: The analysis of large-scale data sets via clustering techniques is utilized in a number of applications. Biclustering in particular has emerged as an important problem...
