This paper describes and analyzes sporadic model building, which can be used to enhance the efficiency of the hierarchical Bayesian optimization algorithm (hBOA) and other advance...
Abstract. Fast algorithms for arithmetic on real or complex polynomials are wellknown and have proven to be not only asymptotically efficient but also very practical. Based on Fas...
Abstract—We consider two natural extensions of the communication complexity model that are inspired by distributed computing. In both models, two parties are equipped with synchr...
We introduce the k-payment problem: given a total budget of N units, the problem is to represent this budget as a set of coins, so that any k exact payments of total value at most ...
We are interested in the expressiveness of constraints represented by general first order formulae, with equality as unique relation symbol and function symbols taken from an infi...
