We use combinatorial methods and permutation groups to classify homogeneous boolean functions. The property of symmetry of a boolean function limits the size of the function’s cl...
We explore the relationship between properties of the network defined by connected agents and the global system performance. This is achieved by means of a novel class of optimiza...
Geometric crossover is a representation-independent generalization of traditional crossover for binary strings. It is defined using the distance associated to the search space in ...
It is supposed that the finite search space has certain symmetries which can be described in terms of a group of permutations acting upon it. If crossover and mutation respect th...

Abstract. We describe and critique the convergence properties of filterbased evolutionary pattern search algorithms (F-EPSAs). F-EPSAs implicitly use a filter to perform a multi-...
