Abstract. The rooted delay-constrained minimum spanning tree problem is an NP-hard combinatorial optimization problem arising for example in the design of centralized broadcasting ...
We present a hybrid Genetic Algorithm that incorporates the Generalized Partition Crossover (GPX) operator to produce an algorithm that is competitive with the state of the art for...
Mesh partitioning is an important problem that has extensive applications in many areas. Multilevel algorithms are a successful class of optimization techniques which addresses th...
Abstract- Simulated annealing (SA) is an effective general heuristic method for solving many combinatorial optimization problems. This paper deals with two problems in SA. One is ...
Most Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) algorithms are able to find a single (or few) optimal, or near-optimal, solutions to difficult (NP-hard) problems. An issue though is that a s...
