Evolution with Drifting Targets
We consider the question of the stability of evolutionary algorithms to gradual changes, or drift, in the target concept. We define an algorithm to be resistant to drift if, for s...

Online Geometric Optimization in the Bandit Setting Against an Adaptive Adversary
We give an algorithm for the bandit version of a very general online optimization problem considered by Kalai and Vempala [1], for the case of an adaptive adversary. In this proble...

PTAS for geometric hitting set problems via local search
We consider the problem of computing minimum geometric hitting sets in which, given a set of geometric objects and a set of points, the goal is to compute the smallest subset of p...

A building-block royal road where crossover is provably essential
One of the most controversial yet enduring hypotheses about what genetic algorithms (GAs) are good for concerns the idea that GAs process building-blocks. More specifically, it ha...
