An analogy between the evolution of organisms and some complex computational problems (cryptosystem cracking, determination of the shortest path in a graph) is considered. It is shown that in the absence of a priori information about possible species of organisms such a problem is complex (is rated in the class NP) and cannot be solved in a polynomial number of steps. This conclusion suggests the need for re-examination of evolution mechanisms. Ideas of a deterministic approach to the evolution are discussed.

This paper considers an economic lot-sizing model with non-decreasing capacity constraint, non-increasing setup cost and production cost, and a general inventory cost. We prove that when periodic starting inventory is not less than a certain critical value, it is optimal to produce nothing;this critical value can be computed easily which results in a new effective algorithm.

To improve the efficiency of the Arc Length (AL) algorithm, the paper presents a quantitative method to choose the parameters of AL. The paper analyzes the condition to guarantee the correctness of AL, and gives the approaches to set the parameters. Moreover, the latency of AL under the new method is discussed in detailed. The analysis and simulation shows that the latency of AL with the parameters chosen under the new method remains constant, while is not increasing as the size of network grows.

The paper presents selected multicriteria (multiobjective) approaches to shortest path problems. A classification of multiobjective shortest path (MOSP) problems is given. Different models of MOSP problems are discussed in detail. Methods of solving the formulated optimization problems are presented. An analysis of the complexity of the presented methods and ways of adapting of classical algorithms for solving multiobjective shortest path problems are described. A comparison of the effectiveness of solving selected MOSP problems defined as mathematical programming problems (using the CPLEX 7.0 solver) and multi-weighted graph problems (Using modified Dijkstra's algorithm) is given. Experimental results of using the presented methods for multicriteria path selection in a terrain-based grid network are given.

Traditional application of Voronoi diagrams for space partitioning results in Voronoi regions, each with a specific area determined by the generators' relative locations and weights. Particularly in the area of information space (re)construction, however, there is a need for inverse solutions;i.e., finding weights that result in regions with predefined area ratios. In this paper, we formulate an adaptive Voronoi solution and propose a raster-based optimization method for finding the associated weight set. The solution consists of a combination of simple, fixed-point iteration with an optional spatial resolution refinement along the regions' boundaries using quadtree decomposition. We present the corresponding algorithm and its complexity analysis. The method is successfully tested on a series of ideal-typical cases and the interactions between the adaptive technique and boundary resolution refinement are explored and assessed.

Elliptic scalar multiplication is the most cost operation of the elliptic curve cryptosystems. The fast implementation of Elliptic Curve Cryptography mainly depends on the fast computation of elliptic scalar multiplication kP. This paper analysis and compare the complexity of the "add and double methods" and Montgomery methods. We show that the Montgomery methods has more cost than the "add-and-double" method if the ratio of the cost of field inversion and field multiplication is more than 2 under the affine coordinate representations without concern the cost of field adding and field squaring in GF(2(m)). In fact, the ration of I and M is more than 7 as the size of binary field is not less than 128, which means that the algorithm 3.1 outperforms the algorithm 3.2.

With soaring work frequency and decreasing feature sizes, VLSI circuits with RLC parasitic components are more like analog circuits and should be carefully analyzed in physical design. However, the number of extracted RLC components is typically too large to be analyzed efficiently by using present analog circuit simulators like SPICE. In order to speedup the simulations without error penalty, this paper proposes a novel methodology to compress the time-descritized circuits resulted from numerical integration approximation at every time step. The main contribution of the methodology is the efficient structure-level compression of DC circuits containing many current sources, which is an important complement to present circuit analysis theory. The methodology consists of the following parts: 1) An approach is proposed to delete all intermediate nodes of RL branches. 2) An efficient approach is proposed to compress and back-solve parallel and serial branches so that it is error-free and of linear complexity to analyze circuits of tree topology. 3) The Y to πtransformation method is used to error-free reduce and back-solve the intermediate nodes of ladder circuits with the linear complexity. Thus, the whole simulation method is very accurate and of linear complexity to analyze circuits of chain topology. Based on the methodology, we propose several novel algorithms for efficiently solving RLC-model transient power/ground (P/G) networks. Among them, EQU-ADI algorithm of linear-complexity is proposed to solve RLC P/G networks with mesh-tree or mesh-chain topologies. Experimental results show that the proposed method is at least two orders of magnitude faster than SPICE while it can scale linearly in both time- and memory-complexity to solve very large P/G networks.

We study the problem of computing the k maximum sum subsequences. Given a sequence of real numbers (x(1), x(2),..., x(n)) and an integer parameter k, 1 <= k <= 1/2n(n - 1), the problem involves finding the k largest values of Sigma(j)(l=t) x(l) for 1 <= 1 <= j <= n. The problem for fixed k = 1, also known as the maximum sum subsequence problem, has received much attention in the literature and is linear-time solvable. Recently, Bae and Takaoka presented a Theta (nk)-time algorithm for the k maximum sum subsequences problem. In this paper we design an efficient algorithm that solves the above problem in O(min{k + n log(2) n, n root k}) time in the worst case. Our algorithm is optimal for k = Omega(n log(2) n) and improves over the previously best known result for any value of the user-defined parameter k < 1. Moreover, our results are also extended to the multi-dimensional versions of the k maximum sum subsequences problem;resulting in fast algorithms as well.
