In this paper, an Incremental Hyper-Sphere Partitioning (IHSP) approach to classification on the basis of Incremental Linear Encoding Genetic Algorithm (ILEGA) is proposed. Hyper-spheres approximating boundaries to a given classification problem, are searched with an incremental approach based on a unique combination of genetic algorithm (GA), output partitioning and pattern reduction. ILEGA is...

In this note we consider the notion of intuitionistic fuzzy (weak) dual hyper K-ideals and obtain related results. Then we classify this notion according to level sets. After that we determine the relationships between intuitionistic fuzzy (weak) dual hyper K-ideals and intuitionistic fuzzy (weak) hyper K-ideals. Finally, we define the notion of the product of two intuitionistic fuzzy (weak) du...

Hyper tableau reasoning is a version of clausal form tableau reasoning where all negative literals in a clause are resolved away in a single inference step. Constrained hyper tableaux are a generalization of hyper tableaux, where branch closing substitutions, from the point of view of model generation, give rise to constraints on satisfying assignments for the branch. These variable constraints...

BACKGROUND Oxygen supply as a lifesaving intervention is frequently used to treat preterm infants suffering additionally from possible prenatal or perinatal pathogen features. The impact of oxygen and/or physical lung injury may influence the morphological lung development, leading to a chronic postnatal lung disease called bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). At present different experimental BPD...

Hyper-heuristics can be identified as methodologies that search the space generated by a finite set of low level heuristics for solving search problems. An iterative hyper-heuristic framework can be thought of as requiring a single candidate solution and multiple perturbation low level heuristics. An initially generated complete solution goes through two successive processes (heuristic selectio...

In this paper, we aim to investigate the role of cooperation between low level heuristics within a hyper-heuristic framework. Since different low level heuristics have different strengths and weaknesses, we believe that cooperation can allow the strengths of one low level heuristic to compensate for the weaknesses of another. We propose an agent-based cooperative hyper-heuristic framework compo...

Current state-of-the-art methodologies are mostly developed for stationary optimization problems. However, many real world problems are dynamic in nature, where dierent types of changes may occur over time. Population based approaches, such as evolutionary algorithms are frequently used in dynamic environments. Selection hyper-heuristics are highly adaptive search methodologies that aim to rais...

In this note first we define the notions of fuzzy positive implicativehyper BCK-ideals of types 1,2,3 and 4. Then we prove some theorems whichcharacterize the above notions according to the level subsets. Also we obtainthe relationships among these notions, fuzzy (strong, weak, reflexive) hyperBCK-ideals and fuzzy positive implicative hyper BCK-ideals of types 5,6,7and 8. Then, we define the no...

background: generalized joint hyper mobility predisposes some individuals to a wide variety of musculoskeletal complaints. given the critical role of scapular position in function of shoulder, the aim of this study was to compare scapular position between persons with and without general joint hyper mobility. methods: by nonprobability sampling 30 hyper mobile persons at average of 22.86 ±2.77 ...

A lot of research has been conducted on hyper-heuristics for examination timetabling. However, most of this work has been focused on an uncapacitated version of the problem. This study reports on evolving hyper-heuristics for a highly constrained version of the problem, namely, the set of problems from the second International Timetabling Competition (ITC ’07). Previous work has shown that usin...
