The interplay between the mutation operator and the selection mechanism plays a fundamental role in the behaviour of evolutionary algorithms (EAs). However, this interplay is stil...
We consider sequential quadratic programming (SQP) methods for solving constrained nonlinear programming problems. It is generally believed that SQP methods are sensitive to the a...
Efficient processing of distance-based queries (DBQs) is of great importance in spatial databases due to the wide area of applications that may address such queries. The most repr...
In 2000 Alber et al. [SWAT 2000 ] obtained the first parameterized subexponential algorithm on undirected planar graphs by showing that k-DOMINATING SET is solvable in time 2O( ...

The choice of the kernel function which determines the mapping between the input space and the feature space is of crucial importance to kernel methods. The past few years have se...
