The third major pathway to achieving computational expansion during the reasoning phase is the actual adoption of some search technique during the reasoning process.This means that reasoning is no ...

The resulting algorithm solved all very-easy, easy and medium difficulty examples in less than a second each but began to struggle a little with the hard examples.

In the literature of Economics, Engineering and Operations Research, the estimation of production frontiers is a current hot topic. Many parametric and nonparametric methodologies have been introduced ...

Civicioglu, P. (2013) Backtracking Search Optimization Algorithm for Numerical Optimization Problems. Applied Mathematics and Computation, 219, 8121-8144.

Using exhaustive search we consider all subsets irrespective of whether they satisfy given constraints or not. Backtracking can be used to make a systematic consideration of the elements to be ...
