In this short note, we investigate some consequences of the vanishing of simple biset functors. As a corollary, if there is no non-trivial vanishing of simple biset functors (e.g., if the group G is commutative), then we show that kB(G,G) is a quasi-heredi ...
Viability Evolution is an abstraction of artificial evolution which operates by eliminating candidate solutions that do not satisfy viability criteria. Viability criteria are defined as boundaries on the values of objectives and constraints of the problem ...
We investigate Farley’s CAT(0) cubical model for Thompson’s group F (we adopt the classical language of F, using binary trees and piecewise linear maps, avoiding the one of diagram groups and pictures). Main results include: in general, Thompson’s group el ...
Water-leaving radiance is subject to depth variability of the water constituents. The optical penetration depth is strongly dependent on the wavelength λ, which allows to retrieve a non-uniform vertical profile of an optically-active constituent CTSM(z) fr ...
Researchers have argued that specialization within groups yields productivity gains. We evaluate this statement with a focus on groups of Ph.D. students. Using an established technique in computer science called Latent Dirichlet Allocation, we construct a ...

Optimizing collective behavior in multiagent systems requires algorithms to find not only appropriate individual behaviors but also a suitable composition of agents within a team. Over the last two decades, evolutionary methods have been shown to be a prom ...

Le but du projet est d’optimiser un moteur synchrone par des algorithmes génétiques. L’objectif de ce projet est de : • Etudier les algorithmes génétiques et ses applications. • Mettre en équation un moteur synchrone selon les différentes variables (électr ...
Evolutionary algorithms were proposed to automatically find solutions to computational problems, much like evolution discovers new adaptive traits. Lately, they have been used to address challenging questions about the evolution of modularity, the genetic ...
This paper presents a novel self-reconfigurable robotic system named ACMoD where each module can move itself individually. It can also attach to other modules to build various configurations and change this configuration adaptively on different terrains. I ...
This paper proposes a scheme for generating optimal process plans for multi jobs in a networked based manufacturing system. Networked manufacturing offers several advantages in the current competitive atmosphere such as reducing short manufacturing cycle t ...
