Complexity of Max-SAT using stochastic algorithms
Hill-climbing has been shown to be more effective than exhaustive search in solving satisfiability problems.Also, it has been used either by itself or in combination with other ...

A new memetic strategy for the numerical treatment of multi-objective optimization problems
In this paper we propose a novel iterative search procedure for multi-objective optimization problems. The iteration process – though derivative free – utilizes the geometry o...

The influence of scaling and assortativity on takeover times in scale-free topologies
In evolving systems, the topological characteristics of population structure have a pronounced impact on the rate of spread of advantageous alleles, and therefore affect selective...

CrossNet: a framework for crossover with network-based chromosomal representations
We propose a new class of crossover operators for genetic algorithms (CrossNet) which use a network-based (or graphbased) chromosomal representation. We designed CrossNet with the...

How generative encodings fare on less regular problems
Generative representations allow the reuse of code and thus facilitate the evolution of repeated phenotypic themes or modules. It has been shown that generative representations pe...

Optimizing hierarchical menus by genetic algorithm and simulated annealing
Hierarchical menus are now ubiquitous. The performance of the menu depends on many factors: structure, layout, colors and so on. There has been extensive research on novel menus, ...
