— Memetic algorithms (MAs) combine the global exploration abilities of evolutionary algorithms with a local search to further improve the solutions. While a neighborhood can be e...

Abstract--The generalized minimum vertex-biconnected network problem plays an important role in the design of survivable backbone networks that should be fault tolerant to single c...
This contribution deals with the optimization of the design of reactive distillation columns by using a memetic algorithm (MA) which is a combination of an evolution strategy (ES)...

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 ...
This paper addresses the Microarray Gene Ordering problem. It consists in ordering a set of genes, grouping together the ones with similar behavior. This behavior can be measured ...
