Abstract-- The Maximum Parsimony problem aims at reconstructing a phylogenetic tree from DNA sequences while minimizing the number of genetic transformations. To solve this NP-comp...
For the p-median problem we study complexity of finding a local minimum in the worst and the average cases. We introduce several neighborhoods and show that the corresponding loca...

Local genetic algorithms have been designed with the aim of providing effective intensification. One of their most outstanding features is that they may help classical local searc...
— In this paper, the performance of a sequential Differential Evolution (DE) enhanced by neighborhood search (SDENS) is reported on the set of benchmark functions provided for th...
Abstract. Four local search algorithms are investigated for the phylogenetic tree reconstruction problem under the Maximum Parsimony criterion. A new subtree swapping neighborhood ...
