Abstract — A large body of research has investigated the advantages of combining phenotype adaptation and genotype adaptation. The hybridization of genetic search and local search methods, often...

Proceedings of the 2007 INFORMS Simulation Society Research Workshop EFFICIENT SAMPLING IN INTERACTIVE MULTI-CRITERIA SELECTION (2009)

Jürgen Branke, Jochen Gamer

Selection procedures are used in a variety of applications to select the best of a finite set of alternatives. Thereby ‘best ’ is defined with respect to the largest mean, but the mean is...

ACTUATED TRAFFIC SIGNAL OPTIMIZATION USING EVOLUTIONARY ALGORITHMS ABSTRACT (2008)

Jürgen Branke, Peter Goldate, Holger Prothmann

The optimization of traffic signal systems is an important step towards successful traffic control, since delays in urban road networks depend largely on the signal system's performance. Due to...

Efficient Search for Robust Solutions by Means of Evolutionary Algorithm and Fitness Approximation (2006)

Ingo Paenke, Jürgen Branke, Yaochu Jin, Senior Member

Abstract—For many real-world optimization problems, the robustness of a solution is of great importance in addition to the solution’s quality. By robustness, we mean that small deviations from...

Portfolio Selection: How to Integrate Complex Constraints (2005)

Michael Stein, Jürgen Branke, Hartmut Schmeck

For the standard Mean-Variance model for portfolio selection with linear constraints, there are several algorithms that can efficiently compute both a single point on the Pareto front and even the...

Finding knees in multi-objective optimization (2004)

Jürgen Branke, Kalyanmoy Deb, Henning Dierolf, Matthias Osswald

Abstract. Many real-world optimization problems have several, usually conflicting objectives. Evolutionary multi-objective optimization usually solves this predicament by searching for the whole...

Efficient Fitness Estimation in Noisy Environments (2001)

Jürgen Branke, Christian Schmidt, Hartmut Schmec

In noisy environments, an individual's fitness cannot be evaluated precisely, but its tness has to be estimated. Evolutionary Algorithms are generally believed to be able to cope well with a...

Guiding Multi Objective Evolutionary Algorithms Towards Interesting Regions (2000)

Jürgen Branke, Thomas Kaußler, Hartmut Schmeck

Many real world design problems involve multiple, usually conicting optimization criteria. Often, it is very difficult to weigh the criteria exactly before alternatives are known. Multi-Objective...

Evolutionary Approaches to Dynamic Optimization Problems - A Survey - (1999)

Jürgen Branke

If the optimization problem is dynamic, the goal is no longer to find the extrema, but to track their progression through the space as closely as possible. This paper surveys the techniques that have...

Using Genetic Algorithms for Drawing Undirected Graphs (1996)

Jürgen Branke, Frank Bucher, Hartmut Schmeck

In this paper we report on our experiences with applying genetic algorithms to the drawing of undirected graphs with straight line edges. Since there exists a relatively simple but powerful heuristic...
