In Genetic and Evolutionary Algorithms (GEAs) one is faced with a given number of parameters, whose possible values are coded in a binary alphabet. With Order Based Representations (OBRs) the genetic information is kept by the order of the genes and not by its value. The application of OBRs to the Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) is a well known technique to the GEA community. In this work one intends to show that this coding scheme can be used as an indirect representation, where the chromosome is the input for the decoder. The behavior of the GEA's operators is compared under benchmarks taken from the Combinatorial Optimization arena. Keywords:Genetic and Evolutionary Algorithms, Order Based Representations.

In this work the algorithms of fast multiplication of matrices are considered. To any algorithm there associated a certain group of automorphisms. These automorphism groups are found for some well-known algorithms, including algorithms of Hopcroft, Laderman, and Pan. The automorphism group is isomorphic to $S_3\times Z_2$ and $S_4$ for Hopcroft anf Laderman algorithms, respectively. The studying of symmetry of algorithms may be a fruitful idea for finding fast algorithms, by an analogy with well-known optimization problems for codes, lattices, and graphs. {\em Keywords}: Strassen algorithm, symmetry, fast matrix multiplication.

This paper presents scalable parallel algorithms for high-dimensional surface fitting and predictive modelling which are used in data mining applications. These algorithms are based on techniques like finite elements, thin plate splines, wavelets and additive models. They all consist of two steps: First, data is read from secondary storage and a linear system is assembled. Secondly, the linear system is solved. The assembly can be done with almost no communication and the size of the linear system is independent of the data size. Thus the presented algorithms are both scalable with the data size and the number of processors.

This work discusses the issue of approximation in point set matching problems. In general, one may have two classes of approximations when tackling a matching problem: a representational approximation, which involves a simplified and suboptimal modeling for the original problem, and algorithmic approximation, which consists in using suboptimal algorithms to infer the assignment. Matching techniques in general have relied on the second approach: to keep a complete model of the original problem and use suboptimal techniques to solve it. In this paper, we show how a technique based on using exact inference in simple graphical models, which is an instance of the first class, can significantly outperform instances of techniques from the second class. We give theoretical insights of why this happens, and experimentally compare our approach with the well-known Shapiro and Brady and Christmas et al. methods, which are exemplars of the second class. We perform experiments with synthetic and real-world data sets, which reveal a significant accuracy improvement of the proposed technique both under point position jitter and size increasing of the point sets. The main conclusion is that techniques based on optimal algorithms with appropriate suboptimal representations may lead to better results than their counterparts which consist in using optimal representations...

This work is concerned with least-mean-squares (LMS) algorithms in continuous time for tracking a time-varying parameter process. A distinctive feature is that the true parameter process is changing at a fast pace driven by a finite-state Markov chain. The states of the Markov chain are divisible into a number of groups. Within each group, the transitions take place rapidly; among different groups, the transitions are infrequent. Introducing a small parameter into the generator of the Markov chain leads to a two-time-scale formulation. The tracking objective is difficult to achieve. Nevertheless, a limit result is derived yielding algorithms for limit systems. Moreover, the rates of variation of the tracking error sequence are analyzed. Under simple conditions, it is shown that a scaled sequence of the tracking errors converges weakly to a switching diffusion. In addition, a numerical example is provided and an adaptive step-size algorithm developed.

In this paper, we investigate the reduced rank shift invariant techniques in the application of synchronization and channel identification of UWB signals. The proposed reduced rank techniques can track the principal components automatically and reduce the computational complexity significantly by transforming the generalized eigen-problem in an original high dimensional space to a lower dimensional space depending on the number of desired principal signals. Technical details in the application, including the operations of sampling, fast Fourier transform (FFT) and the capture of synchronization delay, are given. Experiments show the performance is only slightly inferior to the general full rank algorithms.

Sensor networks, consisting of sensor devices equipped with energy-limited batteries, have been widely used for surveillance and monitoring environments. Data collected by the sensor devices needs to be extracted and aggregated for a wide variety of purposes. Due to the serious energy constraint imposed on such a network, it is a great challenge to perform aggregate queries efficiently. This paper considers the aggregate query evaluation in a sensor network database with the objective to prolong the network lifetime. We first propose an algorithm by introducing a node capability concept that balances the residual energy and the energy consumption at each node so that the network lifetime is prolonged. We then present an improved algorithm to reduce the total network energy consumption for a query by allowing group aggregation. We finally evaluate the performance of the two proposed algorithms against the existing algorithms through simulations. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithms outperform the existing algorithms significantly in terms of the network lifetime.

Comparing scene, pattern or object models to structures in images or determining the correspondence between two point sets are examples of attributed graph matching. In this paper we show how such problems can be posed as one of inference over hidden Markov random fields. We review some well known inference methods studied over past decades and show how the Junction Tree framework from Graphical Models leads to algorithms that outperform traditional relaxation-based ones.

The low-rank approximation problem is to approximate optimally, with respect to some norm, a matrix by one of the same dimension but smaller rank. It is known that under the Frobenius norm, the best low-rank approximation can be found by using the singular value decomposition (SVD). Although this is no longer true under weighted norms in general, it is demonstrated here that the weighted low-rank approximation problem can be solved by finding the subspace that minimizes a particular cost function. A number of advantages of this parameterization over the traditional parameterization are elucidated. Finding the minimizing subspace is equivalent to minimizing a cost function on the Grassmann manifold. A general framework for constructing optimization algorithms on manifolds is presented and it is shown that existing algorithms in the literature are special cases of this framework. Within this framework, two novel algorithms (a steepest descent algorithm and a Newton-like algorithm) are derived for solving the weighted low-rank approximation problem. They are compared with other algorithms for low-rank approximation as well as with other algorithms for minimizing a cost function on a Grassmann manifold.

Most mobile nodes in a wireless ad hoc network are powered by energy limited batteries, the limited battery lifetime imposes a constraint on the network performance. Therefore, energy efficiency is paramount of importance in the design of routing protocols for the applications in such a network, and efficient operations are critical to enhance the network lifetime. In this paper we consider energy-efficient routing for the minimizing energy and maximizing network lifetime multicast problem in ad hoc networks. We aim to construct a multicast tree rooted at the source and spanning the destination nodes such that the minimum residual battery energy (also referred to the network lifetime) among the nodes in the network is maximized and the total transmission energy consumption is minimized. Due to the NP-hardness of the concerned problem, all previously proposed algorithms for it are heuristic algorithms, and there is little known about the analytical performance of these algorithms in terms of approximation ratios. We here focus on devising approximation algorithms for the problem with provably guaranteed approximation ratios. Specifically, we present an approximation algorithm for finding a multicast tree such that the total transmission energy consumption is no more than γ times of the optimum...
