Evolut Ionary Schedul Ing and Rout Ing

The aim of this paper is to clearly demonstrate the importance of finding a good balance between genetic search and local search in the implementation of hybrid evolutionary multi-criterion optimization (EMO) algorithms. We first modify the local search part of an existing multi-objective genetic local search (MOGLS) algorithm. In the modified MOGLS algorithm, the computation time spent by loca...

Ing Large Population Behavior

We consider the problem of representing collective behavior of large populations and predicting the evolution of a population distribution over a discrete state space. A discrete time mean field game (MFG) is motivated as an interpretable model founded on game theory for understanding the aggregate effect of individual actions and predicting the temporal evolution of population distributions. W...

A-maze-ing Esterel

This paper shows that the kernel fragment of Esterel corresponding to combinational circuits admits a natural game–theoretic interpretation. Technically, combinational Esterel programs are mapped into finite two–player games in such a way that the standard must– and cannot–analysis of signal statuses is reflected in the computation of winning strategies. The novel game–theoretic approach comple...
