— Many deterministic algorithms in the context of constrained optimization require the first-order derivatives, or the gradient vectors, of the objective and constraint function...

The building blocks are common structures of high-quality solutions. Genetic algorithms often assume the building-block hypothesis. It is hypothesized that the high-quality solutio...
In this paper, we present a new approach to the temporal order restoration of the off-line handwriting. After the preprocessing steps of the word image, a suitable algorithm makes...
Automatically assessing the value of bioavailability from the chemical structure of a molecule is a very important issue in biomedicine and pharmacology. In this paper, we present...

We introduce the concept of "minimal" search algorithm for a set of functions to optimize. We investigate the structure of closed under permutation (c.u.p.) sets and we c...
