    Symmetry Breaking for Voting Mechanisms

    Recently, Rowe and Aishwaryaprajna [FOGA 2019] introduced a simple majority vote technique that efficiently solves Jump with large gaps, OneMax with large noise, and any monotone function with a polynomial-size i...

    Approximation Speed-Up by Quadratization on LeadingOnes

    We investigate the quadratization of LeadingOnes in the context of the landscape for local search. We prove that a standard quadratization (i.e., its expression as a degree-2 multilinear polynomial) of LeadingOne...

    Parameterized Complexity Analysis of Randomized Search Heuristics

    This chapter compiles a number of results that apply the theory of parameterized algorithmics to the running-time analysis of randomized search heuristics such as evolutionary algorithms. The parameterized app...
