We consider an optimization problem of finding the best possible offspring as a result of a recombination operator in an evolutionary algorithm, given two parent solutions. The op...
A wide variety of stability and performance questions about linear dynamical systems can be reformulated as convex optimization problems involving linear matrix inequalities (LMIs...

Let P(n) denote the largest prime divisor of n, and let (x, y) be the number of integers n x with P(n) y. In this paper we present improvements to Bernstein's algorithm, whi...
When the epistasis of the fitness function is bounded by a constant, we show that the expected fitness of an offspring of the (1+1)-EA can be efficiently computed for any point...
We introduce a new method for data clustering based on a particular Gaussian mixture model (GMM). Each cluster of data, modeled as a GMM into an input space, is interpreted as a hy...
