The paper describes a general glance to the use of element exchange techniques for optimization over permutations. A multi-level description of problems is proposed which is a fund...
Abstract. This paper presents an empirical study of population diversity measure and adaptive control of diversity in the context of a permutation-based algorithm for Traveling Sal...
The Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) is still one of the most researched topics in computational mathematics, and we introduce a variant of it, namely the study of the closed k-wa...

Many combinatorial problems--such as the traveling salesman, feedback arcset, cutwidth, and treewidth problem-can be formulated as finding a feasible permutation of n elements. Ty...
In this paper, we develop and discuss several distance measures for permutation type representations of solutions of combinatorial optimisation problems. The problems discussed in...
