An Improved Unordered Pair Bat Algorithm for Solving the Symmetrical Traveling Salesman Problem
Foundations of Computing and Decision Sciences, 2022 Bat algorithm is an effective swarm intelligence optimization algorithm which is widely used to solve continuous optimization problems. But it still has some limitations in search process and can’t solve discrete optimization problems directly. Therefore,

Benchmarking problems for robust discrete optimization [PDF]
Computers & Operations ResearchRobust discrete optimization is a highly active field of research where a plenitude of combinations between decision criteria, uncertainty sets and underlying nominal problems are considered. Usually, a robust problem becomes harder to solve than its nominal counterpart, even if it remains in the same complexity class.

A comparison of mixed-variables Bayesian optimization approaches
Advanced Modeling and Simulation in Engineering Sciences, 2022 Most real optimization problems are defined over a mixed search space where the variables are both discrete and continuous. In engineering applications, the objective function is typically calculated with a numerically costly black-box simulation ...

Computational Complexity of Discrete Optimization Problems [PDF]
, 1979 Recent developments in the theory of computational complexity as applied to combinatorial problems have revealed the existence of a large class of so-called NP-complete problems, either all or none of which are solvable in polynomial time. Since many infamous combinatorial problems have been proved to be NP-complete, the latter alternative seems far ...

A New Multidisciplinary Design Optimization Method Accounting for Discrete and Continuous Variables under Aleatory and Epistemic Uncertainties [PDF]
International Journal of Computational Intelligence Systems, 2012 Various uncertainties are inevitable in complex engineered systems and must be carefully treated in design activities. Reliability-Based Multidisciplinary Design Optimization (RBMDO) has been receiving increasing attention in the past decades to ...
