In this work we present a novel and efficient algorithm– independent stopping criterion, called the MGBM criterion, suitable for Multiobjective Optimization Evolutionary Algorit...
Abstract—Despite the considerable amount of research work on the application of Gabor filters in pattern classification, their design and selection have been mostly done on a t...
This work intends to deal with the optimal kinematic synthesis problem of parallel manipulators under a unified framework. Observing that regular (e.g., hyper-rectangular) workspac...
A function on n variables is called a k-junta if it depends on at most k of its variables. In this article, we show that it is possible to test whether a function is a k-junta or ...
Simulated annealing (SA) and deterministic continuation are well-known generic approaches to global optimization. Deterministic continuation is computationally attractive but produ...
