A crossover operator for objective functions defined over graph neighborhoods with interdependent and related variables by Jaume Jordan, Javier Palanca, Victor Sanchez-Anguix, Vicente Julian

“…Abstract This article presents a new crossover operator for problems with an underlying graph structure where edges point to prospective interdependence relationships between decision variables and neighborhoods shape the definition of the global objective function via a sum of different expressions, one for each neighborhood. The main goal of this work is to propose a crossover operator that is broadly applicable, adaptable, and effective across a wide range of problem settings characterized by objective functions that are expressed in terms of graph neighbourhoods with interdependent and related variables. …”

Bound states of massive complex ghosts in superrenormalizable quantum gravity theories by M. Asorey, G. Krein, M. Pardina, I. Shapiro

“…We show that in both cases, these theories do not admit a Källén-Lehmann representation and do not satisfy the positivity criterium of consistency in terms of the fields associated to those particles. In the main part of the work, using a relatively simple Euclidean scalar toy model, we show that the theory with complex spectrum forms bound states confining unphysical massive excitations into a normal composite particle. …”
