This paper investigates a tabu assisted genetic algorithm based hyper-heuristic (hyper-TGA) for personnel scheduling problems. We recently introduced a hyper-heuristic genetic algorithm (hyper-GA) with an adaptive length chromosome which aims to evolve an ordering of low-level heuristics in order to find good quality solutions to given problems. The addition of a tabu method, the focus of this ...

hyper-tubes consisting of hyper-cubes of n-dimensions were designed and formulas for substructures of vary dimensions established.

The order-(m, n) hyper-deBruijn graph HD(m,n) is the direct product of an order-m hypercube and an order-n debruijn graph. The hyper-deBruijn graph offers flexibility in terms of connections per node and the level of fault-tolerance. These networks as well possess logarithmic diameter, simple routing algorithms and support many computationally important subgraphs and admit efficient implementat...

where Aj(z) (j = 0, 1, . . . , k) are meromorphic functions with finite order. Under some conditions on the coefficients, we show that all meromorphic solutions f 6≡ 0 of the above equations have an infinite order and infinite lower order. Furthermore, we give some estimates of their hyper-order, exponent and hyper-exponent of convergence of distinct zeros. We improve the results due to Kwon; C...

We shall assume that reader is familiar with the fundamental results and the standard notations of the Nevanlinna value distribution theory of meromorphic functions(see [11,14]). In addition, we will use the notation σ(f) to denote the order of growth of entire function f(z), σ2(f) to denote the hyper-order of f(z), λ(f)(λ2(f)) to denote the exponent(hyper-exponent) of convergence of the zero-s...
