Many instances of NP-hard problems can be solved efficiently if the treewidth of their corresponding graph is small. Finding the optimal tree decompositions is an NP-hard problem a...
When an evolutionary algorithm addresses a sequence of instances of the same problem, it can seed its population with solutions that it found for previous instances. This techniqu...
A very undesirable behavior of any heuristic algorithm is to be stuck in some specific parts of the search space, in particular in the basins of attraction of the local optima. Wh...

Abstract Population-based meta-heuristics are algorithms that can obtain very good results for complex continuous optimization problems in a reduced amount of time. These search al...

When exploring a game over a large strategy space, it may not be feasible or cost-effective to evaluate the payoff of every relevant strategy profile. For example, determining a p...
