Abstract. We explore a new general-purpose heuristic for nding highquality solutions to hard optimization problems. The method, called extremal optimization, is inspired by self-or...

We present a Simplex-type algorithm, that is, an algorithm that moves from one extreme point of the infinite-dimensional feasible region to another not necessarily adjacent extrem...
