Estimation of distribution algorithms (EDAs) are widely used in stochastic optimization. Impressive experimental results have been reported in the literature. However, little work ...
We study the impact of backbones in optimization and approximation problems. We show that some optimization problems like graph coloring resemble decision problems, with problem h...
Random problem distributions have played a key role in the study and design of algorithms for constraint satisfaction and Boolean satisfiability, as well as in our understanding o...
