Let p > 1 be any fixed real. We show that assuming NP RP, there is no polynomial time algorithm that approximates the Shortest Vector Problem (SVP) in p norm within a constant ...
Dynamic detection and elimination of symmetry in constraints, is in general a hard task, but in Not-Equals binary constraint networks, the symmetry conditions can be simplified. I...
Feature selection algorithms can reduce the high dimensionality of textual cases and increase case-based task performance. However, conventional algorithms (e.g., information gain)...
Evolutionary algorithms tend to produce solutions that are not evolvable: Although current fitness may be high, further search is impeded as the effects of mutation and crossover ...
Memetic algorithms are evolutionary algorithms incorporating local search to increase exploitation. This hybridization has been fruitful in countless applications. However, theory...
