The algorithm could be changed during the evolutionary progress according to their performances. In addition,a large number of elite individuals were employed in the algorithm and the elite individuals helped algorithm achieve a better performance,while such number of elite individuals stagnated the global convergence in conventional single algorithm.

In this paper, the basic ideas of Kruskal algorithm were discussed and then presented a new improved algorithm—two branch Kruskal algorithm, which is improved to choose a middle value. Finally, because the time complexity is reduced, and the process is more convenient, it is concluded that the improved Kruskal algorithm is more effective in most cases compared with the Kruskal algorithm.展开更多

The algorithm consists of two modes: scanning and detecting. Search diagrams are introduced as a way to describe parallel searching algorithms on unbounded intervals. Dynamic programming equations, combined with a series of liner programming problems, describe relations between results for every pair of successive evaluations of function f in parallel. Properties of optimal search strategies are derived from these equations. The worst-case complexity analysis shows that, if the maximizer is located on a priori unknown interval (n-1], then it can be detected after cp(n)=「2log「p/2」+1(n+1)」-1 parallel evaluations of f(x), where p is the number of processors.展开更多

A good clustering method will produce high quality clusters with high intra-cluster similarity and low inter-cluster similarity. Clustering techniques are applied in different domains to predict future trends of available data and its uses for the real world. This research work is carried out to find the performance of two of the most delegated, partition based clustering algorithms namely k-Means and k-Medoids. A state of art analysis of these two algorithms is implemented and performance is analyzed based on their clustering result quality by means of its execution time and other components. Telecommunication data is the source data for this analysis. The connection oriented broadband data is given as input to find the clustering quality of the algorithms. Distance between the server locations and their connection is considered for clustering. Execution time for each algorithm is analyzed and the results are compared with one another. Results found in comparison study are satisfactory for the chosen application.展开更多

However, they have a major drawback related to the time complexity and memory occupation when running on a uniprocessor computer. This paper proposes a parallel decoder for linear block codes, using parallel genetic algorithms (PGA). The good performance and time complexity are confirmed by theoretical study and by simulations on BCH(63,30,14) codes over both AWGN and flat Rayleigh fading channels. The simulation results show that the coding gain between parallel and single genetic algorithm is about 0.7 dB at BER = 10﹣5 with only 4 processors.展开更多

In this paper, the language properties of synchronous composition net are discussed. Based on these results, the testing algorithm polynomial-time complexity for legal firing sequence is proposed. Therefore, net classification of polynomial-time solvability for testing legal firing sequence is extended.展开更多

We obtain parameterized subexponential-time algorithms for p-KAGG—a problem in social choice theory—and for p-OSCM—a problem in graph drawing. These algorithms run in time O＊（2O（√k log k））,where k is the parameter, and significantly improve the previous best algorithms with running times O.1.403k/and O.1.4656k/, respectively. We also study natural ＂above-guarantee＂ versions of these problems and show them to be fixed parameter tractable. In fact, we show that the above-guarantee versions of these problems are equivalent to a weighted variant of p-directed feedback arc set. Our results for the above-guarantee version of p-KAGG reveal an interesting contrast. We show that when the number of ＂votes＂ in the input to p-KAGG is odd the above guarantee version can still be solved in time O＊（2O（√k log k））, while if it is even then the problem cannot have a subexponential time algorithm unless the exponential time hypothesis fails（equivalently, unless FPT D M[1]）.展开更多

The time needed to merge ksorted lists, with m of each, is ( k + [log2( m / k) ]) tk, and the time for sorting N keys is (1 + (p - 1) k + 1/2( p -1) (p - 2)[ log2k])tk, where p - logkN, and tk is the time to sort k keys. The proposed algorithms can be implemented either by hardwared sorting networks, or on general purpose parallel and vector machines The traditional odd-even merging can be viewed as a special case of the multiway merging proposed (when k is 2) While theoretically the proposed algorithms provide a new understanding of parallel merging and sorting processes, they may be used in prac-tice to construct sorting circuits fasler than 2-sorter based sorting methods.展开更多
