This paper focuses on the computation time of evolutionary algorithms. First, some exact expressions of the mean first hitting times of general evolutionary algorithms in finite...
Adaptive Memetic Algorithms couple an evolutionary algorithm with a number of local search heuristics for improving the evolving solutions. They are part of a broad family of meta...
Most surrogate approaches to multi-objective optimization build a surrogate model for each objective. These surrogates can be used inside a classical Evolutionary Multiobjective O...
This paper introduces a hybrid metaheuristic, the Variable Neighborhood Particle Swarm Optimization (VNPSO), consisting of a combination of the Variable Neighborhood Search (VNS) ...
