Combining Cross Entropy and MADS methods for inequality constrained global optimization

Charles Audet, Romain Couderc, Jean Bigeon

This paper proposes a way to combine the Mesh Adaptive Direct Search (MADS) algorithm with the Cross-Entropy (CE) method for non smooth constrained optimization. The CE method is u…

Constrained stochastic blackbox optimization using a progressive barrier and probabilistic estimates

Kwassi Joseph Dzahini, Michael Kokkolaras, Sébastien Le Digabel

This work introduces the StoMADS-PB algorithm for constrained stochastic blackbox optimization, which is an extension of the mesh adaptive direct-search (MADS) method originally de…

Machine Learning in Airline Crew Pairing to Construct Initial Clusters for Dynamic Constraint Aggregation

Yassine Yaakoubi, François Soumis, Simon Lacoste-Julien

The crew pairing problem (CPP) is generally modelled as a set partitioning problem where the flights have to be partitioned in pairings. A pairing is a sequence of flight legs sepa…

Counting independent sets in Riordan graphs

Gi-Sang Cheon, Ji-Hwan Jung, Bumtle Kang +4

The notion of a Riordan graph was introduced recently, and it is a far-reaching generalization of the well-known Pascal graphs and Toeplitz graphs. However, apart from a certain su…
