Multi-objectivising the Quadratic Assignment Problem by Means of an Elementary Landscape Decomposition
Authors: Jose A. Lozano,Alexander Mendiburu,Josu Ceberio,Borja Calvo
In the last decade, many works in combinatorial optimisation have shown that, due to the advances in multi-objective optimisation, the algorithms in this field could be used for solving single-objective problems. In this sense, a number of papers have proposed multi-objectivising single-objective…

Multi-objective Hierarchic Memetic Solver for Inverse Parametric Problems
Authors: Julen Álvarez-Aramberri,Julen Álvarez-Aramberri,Julen Álvarez-Aramberri,Maciej Smołka,Ewa Gajda-Zagórska,David Pardo,David Pardo,David Pardo,Robert Schaefer
We propose a multi-objective approach for solving challenging inverse parametric problems. The objectives are misfits for several physical descriptions of a phenomenon under consideration, whereas their domain is a common set of admissible parameters. The resulting Pareto set, or parameters close…

Multiple-time-stepping generalized hybrid Monte Carlo methods
Authors: Bruno Escribano,Elena Akhmatskaya,Sebastian Reich,Jon M. Azpiroz
Performance of the generalized shadow hybrid Monte Carlo (GSHMC) method [1], which proved to be superior in sampling efficiency over its predecessors [2-4], molecular dynamics and hybrid Monte Carlo, can be further improved by combining it with multi-time-stepping (MTS) and mollification of slow…

A review of message passing algorithms in estimation of distribution algorithms
Authors: Jose A. Lozano,Alexander Mendiburu,Roberto Santana
Message passing algorithms (MPAs) have been traditionally used as an inference method in probabilistic graphical models. Some MPA variants have recently been introduced in the field of estimation of distribution algorithms (EDAs) as a way to improve the efficiency of these algorithms. Multiple…

Locality-aware policies to improve job scheduling on 3D tori
Authors: Jose Miguel-Alonso,Jose A. Lozano,Jose Antonio Pascual
This paper studies the influence that contiguous job placement has on the performance of schedulers for large-scale computing systems. In contrast with non-contiguous strategies, contiguous partitioning enables the exploitation of communication locality in applications, and also reduces inter-…

Constant pressure hybrid Monte Carlo simulations in GROMACS
Authors: Elena Akhmatskaya,Elena Akhmatskaya,Bruno Escribano,Mario Fernández-Pendás,Tijana Radivojevic
Adaptation and implementation of the Generalized Shadow Hybrid Monte Carlo (GSHMC) method for molecular simulation at constant pressure in the NPT ensemble are discussed. The resulting method, termed NPT-GSHMC, combines Andersen barostat with GSHMC to enable molecular simulations in the environment…

Vortex filament equation for a regular polygon
Authors: Luis Vega,Luis Vega,Francisco de la Hoz
In this paper, we study the evolution of the vortex filament equation (VFE), $$\mathbf X_t = \mathbf X_s \wedge \mathbf X_{ss},$$ with $\mathbf X(s, 0)$ being a regular planar polygon. Using algebraic techniques, supported by full numerical simulations, we give strong evidence that $\mathbf X(s, t…

Beyond ventricular fibrillation analysis: Comprehensive waveform analysis for all cardiac rhythms occurring during resuscitation
Authors: Trygve Eftestøl,Jo Kramer-Johansen,Eirik Skogvoll,Elisabete Aramendi,Trond Nordseth,Erik Alonso,Erik Alonso
To propose a method which analyses the electrocardiogram (ECG) waveform of any cardiac rhythm occurring during resuscitation and computes the probability of that rhythm converting into another with better prognosis (Pdes).Rhythm transitions occurring spontaneously or due to defibrillation were…

Shell interactions for Dirac operators
Authors: Albert Mas,Naiara Arrizabalaga,Luis Vega
The self-adjointness of $H+V$ is studied, where $H=-i��\cdot\nabla +m��$ is the free Dirac operator in $\R^3$ and $V$ is a measure-valued potential. The potentials $V$ under consideration are given by singular measures with respect to the Lebesgue measure, with special attention to surface measures…

Improving search over Electronic Health Records using UMLS-based query expansion through random walks
Authors: Aitor Soroa,Arantxa Otegi,Eneko Agirre,David Martinez
Most of the information in Electronic Health Records (EHRs) is represented in free textual form. Practitioners searching EHRs need to phrase their queries carefully, as the record might use synonyms or other related words. In this paper we show that an automatic query expansion method based on the…
