Heuristic algorithms for obtaining Polynomial Threshold Functions with low densities
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we present several heuristic algorithms, including a Genetic Algorithm (GA), for obtaining polynomial threshold function (PTF) representations of Boolean functions (BFs) with small number of monomials. We compare these among each other and against the algorithm of Oztop [1] via computational experiments. The results indicate that our heuristic algorithms find more parsimonious representations compared to the those of non-heuristic and GA-based algorithms.

A hybrid meta-heuristic algorithm based on ABC and Firefly algorithms
Abstract— In this paper we have tried to develop an altered version of the artificial bee colony algorithm which is inspired from and combined with the meta-heuristic algorithm of firefly. In this method, we have tried to change the main equation of searching within the original ABC algorithm. On this basis, a new combined equation was used for steps of employed bees and onlooker bees. For this...
متن کاملA Deterministic Multivariate Interpolation Algorithm for Small Finite Fields
We present a new multivariate interpolation algorithm over arbitrary fields which is primarily suited for small finite fields. Given function values at arbitrary t points, we show that it is possible to find an n-variable interpolating polynomial with at most t terms, using the number of field operations that is polynomial in t and n. The algorithm exploits the structure of the multivariate gen...
متن کاملA Meta-heuristic Algorithm for Global Numerical Optimization Problems inspired by Vortex in fluid physics
One of the most important issues in engineering is to find the optimal global points of the functions used. It is not easy to find such a point in some functions due to the reasons such as large number of dimensions or inability to derive them from the function. Also in engineering modeling, we do not have the relationships of many functions, but we can input and output them as a black box. The...
متن کاملAn Efficient Genetic Algorithm for Task Scheduling on Heterogeneous Computing Systems Based on TRIZ
An efficient assignment and scheduling of tasks is one of the key elements in effective utilization of heterogeneous multiprocessor systems. The task scheduling problem has been proven to be NP-hard is the reason why we used meta-heuristic methods for finding a suboptimal schedule. In this paper we proposed a new approach using TRIZ (specially 40 inventive principles). The basic idea of thi...
متن کاملSolving Bi-objective Model of Hotel Revenue Management Considering Customer Choice Behavior Using Meta-heuristic Algorithms
The problem of maximizing the benefit from a specified number of a particular product with respect to the behavior of customer choices is regarded as revenue management. This managerial technique was first adopted by the airline industries before being widely used by many others such as hotel industries. The scope of this research is mainly focused on hotel revenue management, regarding which a...
