RGFGA: An efficient representation and crossover for grouping genetic algorithms [PDF]
, 2005 There is substantial research into genetic algorithms that are used to group large numbers of objects into mutually exclusive subsets based upon some fitness function. However, nearly all methods involve degeneracy to some degree.

The s-monotone index selection rules for pivot algorithms of linear programming [PDF]
, 2012 In this paper we introduce the concept of s-monotone index selection rule for linear programming problems. We show that several known anti-cycling pivot rules like the minimal index, Last-In–First-Out and the most-often-selected-variable pivot rules are ...

Methods and Algorithms for Robust Filtering [PDF]
, 2004 We discuss filtering procedures for robust extraction of a signal from noisy time series. Moving averages and running medians are standard methods for this, but they have shortcomings when large spikes (outliers) respectively trends occur. Modified trimmed means and linear median hybrid filters combine advantages of both approaches, but they do not ...
