In wireless multi-hop networks, hello protocols for neighbor discovery are a basic service offered by the networking stack. However, their study usually rely on rather simplistic...
Randomization is an efficient tool for global optimization. We here define a method which keeps : – the order 0 of evolutionary algorithms (no gradient) ; – the stochastic as...
Among the many codings of spanning trees for evolutionary search are those based on bijections between Pr¨ufer strings—strings of n−2 vertex labels—and spanning trees on th...
