A new family of "Distribution Replacement” operators for use in steady state genetic algorithms is presented. Distribution replacement enforces the members of the populatio...
This paper defines and describes a fully distributed implementation of Google’s highly effective Pagerank algorithm, for “peer to peer”(P2P) systems. The implementation is ...
We introduce and study a randomized quasi-Monte Carlo method for estimating the state distribution at each step of a Markov chain. The number of steps in the chain can be random an...
Total path length, or search cost, for a rooted tree is defined as the sum of all root-to-node distances. Let Tn be the total path length for a random recursive tree of order n. M...
We introduce a novel multi-agent patrolling strategy. By assumption, the swarm of agents performing the task consists of very low capability ant-like agents. The agents have littl...
