The No-Free-Lunch theorems (NFLTs) are criticized for being too general to be of any relevance to the real world scenario. This paper investigates, both formally and empirically, ...
This paper presents the Real-coded Genetic Algorithms for high-dimensional ill-scaled structures, what is called, the ktablet structure. The k-tablet structure is the landscape th...
In this paper we present a Lagrange-multiplier formulation of discrete constrained optimization problems, the associated discrete-space first-order necessary and sufficient condit...
In this work we provide empirical evidence that shows how a variable-length genetic algorithm (GA) can naturally evolve shorter average size populations. This reduction in chromos...
Abstract Existing solutions to the automated physical design problem in database systems attempt to minimize execution costs of input workloads for a given storage constraint. In t...
