We continue recent work on the definition of multimodality in multiobjective optimization
(MO) and the introduction of a test bed for multimodal MO problems. This goes beyond well …

Knowledge of the Hessian matrix at the landscape optimum of a controlled physical
observable offers valuable information about the system robustness to control noise. The …

This paper introduces a multi-level (m-lev) mechanism into Evolution Strategies (ESs) in
order to address a class of global optimization problems that could benefit from fine …

Many scenarios in the sciences and engineering require simultaneous optimization of
multiple objective functions, which are usually conflicting or competing. In such problems the …

We introduce a multilevel mechanism into Evolution Strategies (ESs) to address multigrid
problems, which represent real-world applications of extremely high dimensions possessing …

One of the first examples of manipulation of chemical reactions by light came with flash
photolysis in the late 1940's. It allowed Eigen, Norrish and Porter to be jointly awarded the …

Ultrafast laser pulses can be used to initiate, probe, and control molecular dynamics. In a
typical pump-probe experiment, spectra are collected as a function of delay between two …
