Multiobjective car relocation problem in one-way carsharing system

open access: yesJournal of Modern Transportation, 2018
In this paper, we present a multiobjective approach for solving the one-way car relocation problem. We fix three objectives that include the number of remaining rejected demands, the number of jockeys used for the relocation operations, and the total ...

Performing populist leadership online: Discursive and multimodal construction of a shared social identity

open access: yesBritish Journal of Social Psychology, Volume 65, Issue 2, April 2026.
Abstract Populist leaders are known for engaging supporters through compelling rhetoric, sparking debate about what persuasive strategies they use to mobilize voters. While research shows that leaders creatively frame their communication, the role of social media–especially its multimodal affordances–remains poorly understood.

Lamarckian memetic algorithms: local optimum and connectivity structure analysis

open access: yes, 2009
Memetic algorithms (MAs) represent an emerging field that has attracted increasing research interest in recent times. Despite the popularity of the field, we remain to know rather little of the search mechanisms of MAs. Given the limited progress made on

Qubit‐Efficient Quantum Local Search for Combinatorial Optimization

open access: yesAdvanced Quantum Technologies, Volume 9, Issue 3, March 2026.
We introduce a qubit‐efficient variational quantum algorithm for combinatorial optimization that adaptively uses from logarithmic to a linear number of qubits to implement quantum local search. The method encodes flip probabilities of spin groups into quantum amplitudes, enabling exploration of classically intractable neighborhoods while maintaining ...

Energy‐aware flexible job shop scheduling problem with nonlinear routes and position‐based learning effect

open access: yesInternational Transactions in Operational Research, Volume 33, Issue 2, Page 860-891, March 2026.
Abstract Sustainability has become one of the main objectives in all human activities and, in particular, in manufacturing environments. In this paper, we consider the flexible job shop scheduling problem with the objective of minimizing energy consumption.

A study on meme propagation in multimemetic algorithms

open access: yesInternational Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science, 2015
Multimemetic algorithms (MMAs) are a subclass of memetic algorithms in which memes are explicitly attached to genotypes and evolve alongside them. We analyze the propagation of memes in MMAs with a spatial structure.

Formal Memetic Algorithms

open access: yes, 1994
A formal, representation-independent form of a memetic algorithm -- a genetic algorithm incorporating local search -- is introduced. A generalised form of N-point crossover is defined together with representation-independent patching and hill-climbing ...

Memefication of game fandom on TikTok: Playful engagements with sounds, bodies, and algorithmic affordances

open access: yesTransformative Works and Cultures
Memetic logics and participation play an increasingly important role in online communication and community-building. They have consequences for online fandom and the way fans create and circulate their works.

Memetic algorithms for dynamic optimization problems

open access: yes, 2013
Dynamic optimization problems challenge traditional evolutionary algorithms seriously since they, once converged, cannot adapt quickly to environmental changes.

Novel memetic algorithms for flexible manufacturing systems

open access: yes, 2015
Flexible manufacturing systems (FMS) are systems composed of multiple heterogeneous machines and to obtain optimal schedules or solutions to FMS problems is a complex task. Evolutionary algorithms have been a popular approach to finding schedules for FMS.
