Based on speculations coming from statistical mechanics and the conjectured existence of critical states, I propose a simple heuristic in order to control the mutation probability...
Given a graph G=(V, E) on n vertices, the MAXIMUM r-REGULAR INDUCED SUBGRAPH (M-r-RIS) problems ask for a maximum sized subset of vertices R V such that the induced subgraph on R,...
Background: Unraveling the mechanisms that regulate gene expression is a major challenge in biology. An important task in this challenge is to identify regulatory elements, especi...
We consider optimization problems that can be formulated as minimizing the cost of a feasible solution wT x over an arbitrary combinatorial feasible set F {0, 1}n . For these pro...
Hybrid algorithms that combine genetic algorithms with the Nelder-Mead simplex algorithm have been effective in solving certain optimization problems. In this article, we apply a s...
