Property Analysis of Symmetric Travelling Salesman Problem Instances Acquired Through Evolution
We show how an evolutionary algorithm can successfully be used to evolve a set of difficult to solve symmetric travelling salesman problem instances for two variants of the Lin-Ker...

Random subcubes as a toy model for constraint satisfaction problems
We present an exactly solvable random-subcube model inspired by the structure of hard constraint satisfaction and optimization problems. Our model reproduces the structure of the s...
