—This paper proposes the plateau structure imposed by the Pareto dominance relation as a useful determinant of multiobjective metaheuristic performance. In essence, the dominance...
Matroid theory gives us powerful techniques for understanding combinatorial optimization problems and for designing polynomial-time algorithms. However, several natural matroid pr...
Identifying small groups of lines, whose removal would cause a severe blackout, is critical for the secure operation of the electric power grid. We show how power grid vulnerabilit...
