This paper establishes a strong connection between evolutionary algorithms and majorization theory, using replicator models as a bridge. The relationship between replicator selection systems and majorization theory suggests new selection operators, convergence results and theoretical gains such as the availability of convergence results from the well developed theory of inhomogeneous doubly sto...

Networks reliability analysis consists of determining the probability of correct operations of a system. Generally, the network is modeled as a connected graph and formally approached as a stochastic coherent binary system (SCBS). It represents the functioning of a system such as telecommunication and transportation networks, or simply hardware/software devices. Real networks model could be ver...

1. Introduction

this paper deals with a bi-objective hybrid no-wait flowshop scheduling problem minimizing the makespan and total weighted tardiness, in which we consider transportation times between stages. obtaining an optimal solution for this type of complex, large-sized problem in reasonable computational time by using traditional approaches and optimization tools is extremely difficult. this paper presen...

IEEEE JSAC Special Issue on Measuring and Troubleshooting the Internet: Algorithms, Tools and Applications The ubiquity of Internet access, and the wide variety of Internet-enabled devices and applications, have made the Internet a principal pillar of the Information Society. However, its distributed nature leads to operational brittleness and difficulty in identifying and tracking the root cau...

The growing use of artificial intelligence (A.I.) algorithms in businesses raises regulators' concerns about consumer protection. While pricing and recommendation have undeniable consumer-friendly effects, they can also be detrimental to them through, for instance, the implementation dark patterns. These correspond aiming alter consumers' freedom choice or manipulate their decisions. latter is ...

We summarize recent results and ongoing activities in mathematical algorithms computer science methods related to proton computed tomography (pCT) intensity-modulated particle therapy (IMPT) treatment planning. Proton necessitates a high level of delivery accuracy exploit the selective targeting imparted by Bragg peak. For this purpose, pCT utilizes beam itself create images. The technique work...

This paper deals with the implementation of Algorithms and tools for security academic data protection in Democratic Republic Congo. It consists principally implementing two algorithms distinct to secure this particular case, higher university education The design meets approach that any researcher encryption must use during development a computer system. Briefly, these are steps follow encrypt...

Constraint problems with incomplete or erroneous data are often simplified to tractable deterministic models, or modified using error correction methods, with the aim of seeking a solution. However, this can lead us to solve the wrong problem because of the approximations made. Such an outcome is of little help to a user who expects the right problem to be tackled and reliable information retur...
