Algorithms that zero in on solutions to optimization problems are the beating heart of machine reasoning. New results reveal surprising limits. Our lives are a succession of optimization problems.

Researchers introduce a group-driven initialization that fuses search history with graph modularity, boosting state-of-the-art local solvers for k-quasi-clique and k-plex without altering their search ...

Researchers have used the jellyfish search algorithm to optimize solar PV distributed generation placement and sizing. They have tested the algorithm on an IEEE 33-bus system, with one, two, or three ...
