Hybridizing the cross-entropy method: An application to the max-cut problem
Cross entropy has been recently proposed as a heuristic method for solving combinatorial optimization problems. We briefly review this methodology and then suggest a hybrid version with the goal of improving its performance. In the context of the well-known max-cut problem, we compare an implementation of the original cross entropy method with our proposed version. The suggested changes are not...
متن کاملThe Accelerated Cross Entropy Method: An Application to the Max-Cut Problem
Cross entropy has recently been proposed as a heuristic method for solving combinatorial optimization problems. We briefly review this methodology and then suggest modifications and extensions with the goal of improving its performance. In the context of the well-known max-cut problem, we compare an implementation of the original cross entropy method with our proposed accelerated version. The s...
متن کاملLogical s-t Min-Cut Problem: An Extension to the Classic s-t Min-Cut Problem
Let $G$ be a weighted digraph, $s$ and $t$ be two vertices of $G$, and $t$ is reachable from $s$. The logical $s$-$t$ min-cut (LSTMC) problem states how $t$ can be made unreachable from $s$ by removal of some edges of $G$ where (a) the sum of weights of the removed edges is minimum and (b) all outgoing edges of any vertex of $G$ cannot be removed together. If we ignore the second constraint, ca...
متن کاملMaximum Cut Problem, MAX-CUT
The MAXIMUM CUT problem (MAX-CUT) is one of the simplest graph partitioning problems to conceptualize, and yet it is one of the most difficult combinatorial optimization problems to solve. The objective of MAX-CUT is to partition the set of vertices of a graph into two subsets, such that the sum of the weights of the edges having one endpoint in each of the subsets is maximum. This problem is k...
متن کاملModeling of the Maximum Entropy Problem as an Optimal Control Problem and its Application to Pdf Estimation of Electricity Price
In this paper, the continuous optimal control theory is used to model and solve the maximum entropy problem for a continuous random variable. The maximum entropy principle provides a method to obtain least-biased probability density function (Pdf) estimation. In this paper, to find a closed form solution for the maximum entropy problem with any number of moment constraints, the entropy is consi...
