In many application areas, including piracy detection, software debugging and maintenance, situations arise in which there is a need for comparing two versions of a program that d...
We consider the problem of generating a set of test cases from a black box specification. We focus on stress testing, i.e. picking test cases that seem most likely to reveal prog...
A novel tracker based on points where the intensity function is locally even is presented. Tracking of these so called zeroshift points (ZSPs) is very efficient, a single point i...
It is possible for a GA to have two stable fixed points on a single-peak fitness landscape. These can correspond to meta-stable finite populations. This phenomenon is called bis...
Abstract. We propose a BFGS primal-dual interior point method for minimizing a convex function on a convex set defined by equality and inequality constraints. The algorithm generat...
