Runtime analysis of a binary particle swarm optimizer
We investigate the runtime of a Binary Particle Swarm Optimizer (PSO) for optimizing pseudo-Boolean functions f : {0, 1}n → R. The Binary PSO maintains a swarm of particles sear...

Is submodularity testable?
: We initiate the study of property testing of submodularity on the boolean hypercube. Submodular functions come up in a variety of applications in combinatorial optimization. For ...

Shuffling by Semi-Random Transpositions
In the cyclic-to-random shuffle, we are given n cards arranged in a circle. At step k, we exchange the k'th card along the circle with a uniformly chosen random card. The pro...

Global Search Based on Efficient Diagonal Partitions and a set of Lipschitz Constants
In the paper, the global optimization problem of a multidimensional “black-box” function satisfying the Lipschitz condition over a hyperinterval with an unknown Lipschitz const...

Satisfiability and Computing van der Waerden Numbers
In this paper we bring together the areas of combinatorics and propositional satisfiability. Many combinatorial theorems establish, often constructively, the existence of positive...
