    Hybridising heuristics within an estimation distribution algorithm for examination timetabling

    This paper presents a hybrid hyper-heuristic approach based on estimation distribution algorithms. The main motivation is to raise the level of generality for search methodologies. The objective of the hyper-h...

    A Symbolic Approach to Compute a Null-Space Basis in the Projection Method

    We present a hybrid symbolic-numeric approach for the so-called projection method for solving the parameterized differential-algebraic constraint equations associated with multibody mechanical systems. A prima...
