A problem of assigning cooperating uninhabited aerial vehicles to perform multiple tasks on multiple targets is posed as a new combinatorial optimization problem. A genetic algori...

In this paper we present an extension of ant colony optimization (ACO) to continuous domains. We show how ACO, which was initially developed to be a metaheuristic for combinatoria...
The design of effective neighborhood structures is fundamentally important for creating better local search and metaheuristic algorithms for combinatorial optimization. Significant...
The landscape formalism unites a finite candidate solution set to a neighborhood topology and an objective function. This construct can be used to model the behavior of local sea...
Russian Doll Search (RDS) is a well-known algorithm for combinatorial optimization. In this paper we extend it from mono-objective to multi-objective optimization. We demonstrate ...
Genetic algorithms (GAs) have recently become very popular by solving combinatorial optimization problems. In this paper, we propose an extension of the hybrid genetic algorithm f...
I am a member of Mathematics department at Sabzevar Tarbiat Moallem University from 1999 until now. My main research interests lie in the areas of Super-Resolution, Computer Vision...
In this paper, we present an integrated approach to synthesis and mapping to go beyond the combinatorial limit set up by the depth-optimal FlowMap algorithm. The new algorithm, na...
Lagrangian relaxation is commonly used in combinatorial optimization to generate lower bounds for a minimization problem. We propose a modified Lagrangian relaxation which used i...
We introduce a metaheuristic framework for combinatorial optimization. Our framework is similar to others (e.g. [1]) in that it is modular enough that important components can be i...
