The search for finite-state controllers for partially observable Markov decision processes (POMDPs) is often based on approaches like gradient ascent, attractive because of their ...
The generalized traveling salesman problem (GTSP) is an NPhard problem that extends the classical traveling salesman problem by partitioning the nodes into clusters and looking fo...
Abstract. The fitness distance correlation (FDC) as a measure for problem difficulty was first introduced by Forrest and Jones. It was applied to many binary coded problems. This...
This paper deals with the generation of balanced incomplete block designs (BIBD), a hard constrained combinatorial problem with multiple applications. This problem is here formulat...
The hybridization of heuristics methods aims at exploring the synergies among stand alone heuristics in order to achieve better results for the optimization problem under study. In...
