Book Handbook of Combinatorial Optimization

Download or read book Handbook of Combinatorial Optimization written by Ding-Zhu Du and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-12-01 with total page 2410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Combinatorial (or discrete) optimization is one of the most active fields in the interface of operations research, computer science, and applied math ematics. Combinatorial optimization problems arise in various applications, including communications network design, VLSI design, machine vision, air line crew scheduling, corporate planning, computer-aided design and man ufacturing, database query design, cellular telephone frequency assignment, constraint directed reasoning, and computational biology. Furthermore, combinatorial optimization problems occur in many diverse areas such as linear and integer programming, graph theory, artificial intelligence, and number theory. All these problems, when formulated mathematically as the minimization or maximization of a certain function defined on some domain, have a commonality of discreteness. Historically, combinatorial optimization starts with linear programming. Linear programming has an entire range of important applications including production planning and distribution, personnel assignment, finance, alloca tion of economic resources, circuit simulation, and control systems. Leonid Kantorovich and Tjalling Koopmans received the Nobel Prize (1975) for their work on the optimal allocation of resources. Two important discover ies, the ellipsoid method (1979) and interior point approaches (1984) both provide polynomial time algorithms for linear programming. These algo rithms have had a profound effect in combinatorial optimization. Many polynomial-time solvable combinatorial optimization problems are special cases of linear programming (e.g. matching and maximum flow). In addi tion, linear programming relaxations are often the basis for many approxi mation algorithms for solving NP-hard problems (e.g. dual heuristics).

Book Parameter Setting in Evolutionary Algorithms

Download or read book Parameter Setting in Evolutionary Algorithms written by F.J. Lobo and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2007-03-16 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the main difficulties of applying an evolutionary algorithm (or, as a matter of fact, any heuristic method) to a given problem is to decide on an appropriate set of parameter values. Typically these are specified before the algorithm is run and include population size, selection rate, operator probabilities, not to mention the representation and the operators themselves. This book gives the reader a solid perspective on the different approaches that have been proposed to automate control of these parameters as well as understanding their interactions. The book covers a broad area of evolutionary computation, including genetic algorithms, evolution strategies, genetic programming, estimation of distribution algorithms, and also discusses the issues of specific parameters used in parallel implementations, multi-objective evolutionary algorithms, and practical consideration for real-world applications. It is a recommended read for researchers and practitioners of evolutionary computation and heuristic methods.

Book Quelques R  sultats de Complexit   en Algorithmique Parall  le Et Systolique

Download or read book Quelques R sultats de Complexit en Algorithmique Parall le Et Systolique written by Denis Trystram (chercheur en informatique).) and published by . This book was released on 1988 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'objet de cette thèse est l'étude de la parallélisation d'algorithmes du calcul scientifique et leur implémentation sur des ordinateurs parallèles à mémoire partagée et sur des réseaux systoliques. Un accent particulier est mis sur l'obtention de résultats de complexité. La thèse est organisée autour d'articles et textes de conférences qui sont analysés et discutés dans une première partie de façon à permettre de replacer les problèmes traités dans leur contexte. Dans le premier chapitre, nous présentons les principaux résultats théoriques concernant l'étude de complexité des algorithmes parallèles, ainsi qu'une description critique de l'architecture de référence, qui est une machine de type MIMD à mémoire partagée. Le chapitre suivant est dédie" à l'ensemble des résultats de complexité concernant les algorithmes de diagonalisation et l'élimination de Gauss, il a pour but d'illustrer la méthodologie. Il existe en tout dix écritures possibles de la méthode de Gauss, qui conduisent principalement à deux grandes classes de graphes de précédente, conceptuellement différents : les graphes de type "glouton" et ceux du type "2 pas". Ces types de graphes se rencontrent d'une manière plus générale dans d'autres problèmes d'algèbre linéaire et même dans certaines méthodes non numériques de la théorie des graphes. Nous développons les résultats de complexité concernant ces deux types de graphes sur les exemples les plus courant (versions kji et kij de Gauss en parallèle), puis nous montrons comment adapter l'étude en prenant en compte t'es temps de communication entre tes processeurs, ce qui rend le modèle théorique plus réaliste. Le chapitre 6 est consacré aux architectures systoliques. Le problème du chemin algébrique permet d'unifier plusieurs problèmes informatiques. Nous présentons un réseau résolvant ce problème en Sn-2 pas sur un réseau de taille n(n+l ). De plus, quelques modifications permettent de calculer des projections en filtrage adaptatif en vu d'obtenir une solution en temps réel pour le traitement numérique des signaux. Avant de conclure, nous présentons des résultats complémentaires de parallélisation effective sur d'autres types d'architectures : l'étude de l'algorithme du gradient conjugué sur des super calculateurs (CRAY-XMP et IBM 3090-VF).
