Extremal optimisation (EO) is a relatively recent nature-inspired heuristic whose search method is especially suitable to solve combinatorial optimisation problems. To date, most o...
Abstract. The maximum diversity problem (MDP) consists of identifying optimally diverse subsets of elements from some larger collection. The selection of elements is based on the d...

The success of decoder-based evolutionary algorithms (EAs) strongly depends on the achieved locality of operators and decoders. Most approaches to investigate locality properties ...
Given a set of objects with profits (any, even negative, numbers) assigned not only to separate objects but also to pairs of them, the unconstrained binary quadratic optimization p...
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...
