Abstract. This paper furthers the recent investigation of search heuristics based on solution counting information, by proposing and evaluating algorithms to compute solution densi...
ABSTRACT∗ Arman Yousefi† Neal E. Young‡ Minimum-weight triangulation (MWT) is NP-hard. It has a polynomial-time constant-factor approximation algorithm, and a variety of e...
Abstract— This paper explores the idea of neutrality in heuristic optimization algorithms. In particular, the effect of having multiple levels of neutrality in representations is...
Abstract. We present hardness results, approximation heuristics, and exact algorithms for bottleneck labeled optimization problems arising in the context of graph theory. This long...
Abstract— This paper studies the effect of communicationlink weighting schemes and long-range connections in speeding convergence to consensus on the average of the inputs to age...
