On Fitness Landscape Analysis of Permutation Problems: From Distance Metrics to Mutation Operator Selection
Vincent A. Cicirello
In this paper, we explore the theory and expand upon the practice of fitness landscape analysis for optimization problems over the space of permutations. Many of the computational…
Cycle Mutation: Evolving Permutations via Cycle Induction
Vincent A. Cicirello
Evolutionary algorithms solve problems by simulating the evolution of a population of candidate solutions. We focus on evolving permutations for ordering problems like the travelin…
Kendall Tau Sequence Distance: Extending Kendall Tau from Ranks to Sequences
Vincent A. Cicirello
An edit distance is a measure of the minimum cost sequence of edit operations to transform one structure into another. Edit distance is most commonly encountered within the context…
Variable Annealing Length and Parallelism in Simulated Annealing
Vincent A. Cicirello
In this paper, we propose: (a) a restart schedule for an adaptive simulated annealer, and (b) parallel simulated annealing, with an adaptive and parameter-free annealing schedule.…
Design, Configuration, Implementation, and Performance of a Simple 32 Core Raspberry Pi Cluster
Vincent A. Cicirello
In this report, I describe the design and implementation of an inexpensive, eight node, 32 core, cluster of raspberry pi single board computers, as well as the performance of this…
