On the complexity of hierarchical problem solving
Competent Genetic Algorithms can efficiently address problems in which the linkage between variables is limited to a small order k. Problems with higher order dependencies can onl...

Optimization of Large Scale Parcel Distribution Systems by the Breeder Genetic Algorithm (BGA)
The routing and scheduling of vehicles and their crews is an area of increasing importance. In this paper, we describe a large scale vehicle scheduling and routing problem which i...

Pareto Complexity of Two-Parameter FPT Problems: A Case Study for Partial Vertex Cover
We describe a framework for expressing the complexity of algorithms for FPT problems with two separate parameters k, m and with exponential time bounds O∗ (xk ym ) where x, y &g...

A Kernighan-Lin Local Improvement Heuristic That Solves Some Hard Problems in Genetic Algorithms
We present a Kernighan-Lin style local improvement heuristic for genetic algorithms. We analyze the run-time cost of the heuristic. We demonstrate through experiments that the heur...

Distributed Constraints for Large-Scale Scheduling Problems
Many problems of theoretical and practical interest can be formulated as Constraint Satisfaction Problems (CSPs). The general CSP is known to be NP-complete; however, distributed m...
