Dr. Pascal Bouvry, directeur de thèse Professeur, Université du Luxembourg Prof. Dr. El-Ghazali Talbi, directeur de thèse Professeur, Université Lille1 Prof. Dr. Raymond Bisdorff, président Professeur, Université du Luxembourg Prof. Dr. Nouredine Melab, président suppléant Professeur, Université Lille1 Prof. Dr. Enrique Alba, membre Professeur, Université de Malaga Dr. Didier El-Baz, membre HDR, LAAS-CNRS, Toulouse Abstract Solving efficiently large benchmarks of NP-hard permutation-based problems re- quires the development of hybrid methods combining different classes of optimiza- tion methods. Indeed, it is now acknowledged that such methods perform better than traditional optimization methods when used separately. The key challenge is how to find connections between the divergent search strategies used in each class of methods in order to build efficient hybridization strategies. Genetic algorithms (GAs) are very popular population-based metaheuristics based on stochastic evo- lutionary operators. The hybridization of GAs with tree-based exact methods such as Branch-and-Bound is a promising research trend. B&B algorithms are based on an implicit enumeration of the solution space represented as a tree. Our hybridization approach consists in providing a common solution and search space coding and associated search operators enabling an efficient cooperation between the two methods. The tree-based representation of the solution space is traditionally used in B&B algorithms to enumerate the solutions of the problem at hand. In this thesis, this special representation is adapted to metaheuristics. The encoding of permuta- tions as natural numbers, which refer to their lexicographic enumeration in the tree, is proposed as a new way to represent the solution space of permutation problems in metaheuristics. This encoding approach is based on the mathemat- ical properties of permutations (Lehmer codes, inversion tables, etc.). Mapping functions between the two representations (permutations and numbers) and spe- cial search operators adapted to the encoding are defined for general permutation problems, with respect to the theory of representation. This common representa- tion allows the design of efficient cooperation strategies between GAs and B&B algorithms. In this thesis, two hybridization schemes combining GAs with B&B based on this common representation are proposed. The two hybridization ap- proaches HGABB/HAGABB (Hybrid Adaptive GA-B&B) and COBBIGA (coop- erative B&B interval-based GA), have been validated on standard benchmarks of one of the hardest permutation-based problems, the three dimensional quadratic assignment problem (Q3AP). In order to solve large benchmarks of permutation- based problems, a parallelization for computational grids is also proposed for the two hybrid schemes. This parallelization is based on space decomposition techniques (the decomposition by intervals) used in parallel B&B algorithms. From the implementation point of view, in order to facilitate further design and implementation of hybrid methods combining metaheuristics with tree-based ex- act methods, a hybridization C++ framework integrated to the framework for metaheuristics ParadisEO is developed. The new framework is used to conduct extensive experiments over the computational grid Grid’5000. Resum´e La r´esolution efficace de probl`emes d’optimisation `apermutation de grande taille n´ecessite le d´eveloppement de m´ethodes hybrides complexes combinant diff´erentes classes d’algorithmes d’optimisation. L’hybridation des metaheuristiques avec les m´ethodes exactes arborescentes, tel que l’algorithme du branch-and-bound (B&B), engendre une nouvelle classe d’algorithmes plus efficace que ces deux classes de m´ethodes utilis´ees s´epar´ement. Le d´efi principal dans le d´eveloppement de telles m´ethodes consiste `atrouver des liens ou connections entre les strat´egies de recherches divergentes utilis´es dans les deux classes de m´ethodes. Les Algorithmes G´en´etiques (AGs) sont des metaheuristiques, `abase de population, tr`es populaires bas´es sur des op´erateurs stochastiques inspir´es de la th´eorie de l’´evolution. Con- trairement aux AGs et aux m´etaheuristiques g´en´eralement, les algorithmes de B&B sont bas´es sur l’´enum´eration implicite de l’espace de recherche repr´esent´e par le moyen d’un arbre, dit arbre de recherche. Notre approche d’hybridation consiste `ad´efinir un codage commun des solutions et de l’espace de recherche ainsi que des op´erateurs de recherche ad´equats afin de permettre un couplage efficace de bas niveau entre les deux classes de m´ethodes AGs et B&B. La repr´esentation de l’espace de recherche par le moyen d’arbres est traditionnelle- ment utilis´ee dans les algorithmes de B&B. Dans cette th`ese, cette repr´esentation a ´et´eadapt´ee aux metaheuristiques. L’encodage des permutations au moyen de nombres naturels faisant r´ef´erence `al’ordre d’´enum´eration lexicographique des permutations dans l’arbre du B&B, est propos´ecomme une nouvelle mani`ere de repr´esenter l’espace de recherche des probl`emes `apermutations dans les meta- heuristiques. Cette m´ethode de codage est bas´ee sur les propri´et´es math´ematiques des permutations, `asavoir les codes de Lehmer et les tables d’inversions ainsi que les syst`eme d’´enum´eration factoriels. Des fonctions de transformation permettant le passage entre les deux repr´esentations (permutations et nombres) ainsi que des op´erateurs de recherche adapt´es au codage, sont d´efinis pour les probl`emes `apermutations g´en´eralis´es. Cette repr´esentation, d´esormais commune aux meta- heuristiques et aux algorithmes de B&B, nous a permis de concevoir des strat´egies d’hybridation et de collaboration efficaces entre les AGs et le B&B. En effet, deux approches d’hybridation entre les AGs et les algorithmes de B&B (HGABB et COBBIGA) bas´es sur cette repr´esentation commune ont ´et´epropos´ees dans cette th`ese. Pour validation, une impl´ementation a ´et´e r´ealis´ee pour le probl`eme d’affectation quadratique `atrois dimension (Q3AP). Afin de r´esoudre de larges instances de ce probl`eme, nous avons aussi propos´eune parallelisation pour les deux algorithme hybrides, bas´ee sur des techniques de d´ecomposition d’espace (d´ecomposition par intervalle) utilis´ees auparavant pour la parallelisation des al- gorithmes de B&B. Du point de vue impl´ementation, afin de faciliter de futurs conceptions et impl´ementations de m´ethodes hybrides combinant metaheuris- tiques et m´ethodes exacte arborescentes, nous avons d´evelopp´eune plateforme d’hybridation int´egr´ee au logiciel pour metaheuristiques, ParadisEO. La nouvelle plateforme a ´et´eutilis´ee pour r´ealiser des exp´erimentations intensives sur la grille de calcul Grid’5000.

    GENERALIZING ZECKENDORF’S THEOREM TO f-DECOMPOSITIONS PHILIPPE DEMONTIGNY, THAO DO, ARCHIT KULKARNI, STEVEN J. MILLER, DAVID MOON, AND UMANG VARMA ABSTRACT. A beautiful theorem of Zeckendorf states that every positive integer can be uniquely decomposed as a sum of non-consecutive Fibonacci numbers fFng, where F1 = 1, F2 = 2 and Fn+1 = Fn + Fn−1. For general recurrences fGng with non-negative coefficients, there is a notion of a legal decomposition which again leads to a unique representation, and the number of sum- mands in the representations of uniformly randomly chosen m 2 [Gn;Gn+1) converges to a normal distribution as n ! 1. We consider the converse question: given a notion of legal decomposition, is it possible to con- struct a sequence fang such that every positive integer can be decomposed as a sum of terms from the sequence? We encode a notion of legal decomposition as a function f : N0 ! N0 and say that if an is in an “f-decomposition”, then the decomposition cannot contain the f(n) terms immediately before an in the sequence; special choices of f yield many well known decompositions (including base-b, Zeckendorf and factorial). We prove that for any f : N0 ! N0, there exists a sequence 1 fangn=0 such that every positive integer has a unique f-decomposition using fang. Further, if f is periodic, then the unique increasing sequence fang that corresponds to f satisfies a linear recurrence relation. Previous research only handled recurrence relations with no negative coefficients. We find a function f that yields a sequence that cannot be described by such a recurrence relation.

Unranking Combinations Lexicographically: an efficient new strategy compared with others Cyann Donnot1, Antoine Genitrini2, and Yassine Herida1 1 Full-time master student at Sorbonne University 2 Sorbonne University, LIP6. [email protected] Abstract. We propose a comparative study of four algorithms dedi- cated to the lexicographic unranking of combinations. The three first ones are algorithms from the literature. We give some key ideas how to analyze them in average and describe their strengths and weaknesses. We then introduce a new algorithm based on a new strategy inside the classical factorial numeral system (or factoradics). We conclude the pa- per with an experimental study, in particular when n = 10000; k = 5000, our algorithm is 36 (resp. 53) times as fast as our C++ implementation of Matlab’s (resp.

In mathematics, the repeating decimal 0.999... (which may also be written as 0.9, , 0.(9), or as 0. followed by any number of 9s in the repeating decimal) denotes a real number that can be shown to be the number one. In other words, the symbols 0.999... and 1 represent the same number. Proofs of this equality have been formulated with varying degrees of mathematical rigour, taking into account preferred development of the real numbers, background assumptions, historical context, and target audience. That certain real numbers can be represented by more than one digit string is not limited to the decimal system. The same phenomenon occurs in all integer bases, and mathematicians have also quantified the ways of writing 1 in non-integer bases. Nor is this phenomenon unique to 1: every nonzero, terminating decimal has a twin with trailing 9s, such as 8.32 and 8.31999... The terminating decimal is simpler and is almost always the preferred representation, contributing to a misconception that it is the only representation. The non-terminating form is more convenient for understanding the decimal expansions of certain fractions and, in base three, for the structure of the ternary Cantor set, a simple fractal.
