Stochastic local search (SLS) algorithms have been successfully applied to hard combinatorial problems from different domains. Due to their inherent randomness, the run-time behav...
Abstract. To practically solve NP-hard combinatorial optimization problems, local search algorithms and their parallel implementations on PVM or MPI have been frequently discussed....
Minimal Switching Graph (MSG) is a graphical model for the constrained via minimization problem — a combinatorial optimization problem in integrated circuit design automation. F...
The distribution of fitness values across a set of states sharply influences the dynamics of evolutionary processes and heuristic search in combinatorial optimization. In this p...
The signature of neuronal assemblies is the higher-order correlation structure of the spiking activity of the participating neurons. Due to the rapid progress in recording technol...
