Several methods have been proposed for handling nonlinear constraints by evolutionary algorithms for numerical optimization problems; a survey paper [7] provides an overview of var...
A key assumption of all problem-solving approaches based on utility theory, including heuristic search, is that we can assign a utility or cost to each state. This in turn require...
Wedefine an algebra of ternary relations for cyclic ordering of 2Dorientations. Thealgebra (1) is a refinement of the CYCORDtheory; (2) contains 24 atomic relations, hence 224 gen...
Causality constraints of random discrete simulation make parallel and distributed processing difficult. Methods of applying reconfigurable logic to implement and accelerate simula...
