Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Artificial intelligence
  • Algorithm
  • Mathematical optimization

Christian Blum focuses on Mathematical optimization, Ant colony optimization algorithms, Metaheuristic, Artificial intelligence and Parallel metaheuristic. His study in Mathematical optimization is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Open-shop scheduling, Job shop scheduling and Open shop. His studies deal with areas such as Swarm intelligence, Hypercube and Combinatorial optimization problem as well as Ant colony optimization algorithms.

In general Metaheuristic study, his work on Meta-optimization often relates to the realm of Field, thereby connecting several areas of interest. His research on Artificial intelligence also deals with topics like

  • Continuous optimization which connect with Ant colony,
  • Genetic algorithm which intersects with area such as Feedforward neural network and Test functions for optimization. The concepts of his Parallel metaheuristic study are interwoven with issues in Evolutionary computation, Tabu search and Differential evolution.

His most cited work include:

  • Metaheuristics in combinatorial optimization: Overview and conceptual comparison (2458 citations)
  • Ant colony optimization theory: a survey (1624 citations)
  • Ant colony optimization: Introduction and recent trends (784 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Mathematical optimization, Metaheuristic, Ant colony optimization algorithms, Algorithm and Artificial intelligence are his primary areas of study. His studies in Combinatorial optimization, Integer programming, Solver, Beam search and Heuristic are all subfields of Mathematical optimization research. As a part of the same scientific family, Christian Blum mostly works in the field of Metaheuristic, focusing on Local search and, on occasion, Greedy randomized adaptive search procedure.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Travelling salesman problem, Open-shop scheduling, Evolutionary algorithm, Job shop scheduling and Search algorithm. His Algorithm study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Theoretical computer science and Benchmark. His study looks at the relationship between Artificial intelligence and fields such as Swarm intelligence, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Mathematical optimization (54.15%)
  • Metaheuristic (39.92%)
  • Ant colony optimization algorithms (29.25%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Mathematical optimization (54.15%)
  • Metaheuristic (39.92%)
  • Context (10.67%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His primary areas of study are Mathematical optimization, Metaheuristic, Context, Integer programming and Longest common subsequence problem. His research on Mathematical optimization frequently links to adjacent areas such as Dominating set. His work carried out in the field of Metaheuristic brings together such families of science as Robot, Graph, Ant colony optimization algorithms and Management science.

His studies in Ant colony optimization algorithms integrate themes in fields like Disjoint sets and Minimum dominating set. His Integer programming research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Iterated greedy algorithm, Reduction, Heuristics, Solver and Combinatorial optimization. His Longest common subsequence problem study also includes

  • Subsequence which connect with Heuristic, Algorithm, Beam search and Heuristic,
  • Benchmark which intersects with area such as Graph, Local optimum, Differential evolution and State,
  • Theoretical computer science, which have a strong connection to Knapsack problem and Efficient algorithm,
  • Upper and lower bounds which connect with Scheduling.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • An Algorithm Based on Ant Colony Optimization for the Minimum Connected Dominating Set Problem (13 citations)
  • A comprehensive comparison of metaheuristics for the repetition-free longest common subsequence problem (9 citations)
  • The weighted independent domination problem: Integer linear programming models and metaheuristic approaches (7 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Artificial intelligence
  • Algorithm
  • Computer network

His scientific interests lie mostly in Integer programming, Mathematical optimization, Algorithm, Benchmark and Longest common subsequence problem. His Integer programming research integrates issues from Metaheuristic, Collective intelligence, Reduction, Solver and Combinatorial optimization. His research integrates issues of Swarm intelligence and Connected dominating set in his study of Metaheuristic.

His Combinatorial optimization research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Theoretical computer science and Heuristics. His Mathematical optimization research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Job scheduler and Computation. His Longest common subsequence problem research focuses on Subsequence and how it relates to Heuristic and Beam search.
