Omar Kettani, Faycal Ramdani, Benaissa Tadili . A Quantum Differential Evolutionary Algorithm for the Independent Set Problem. International Journal of Computer Applications. 58, 14 ( November 2012), 39-42. DOI=10.5120/9353-3685
The Independent Set problem consists to find a maximum cardinality subset of vertices of a given graph such that no two vertices are adjacent. In this paper, we propose a quantum evolutionary algorithm which uses a differential operator to update the quantum angles of the superposition state of Q-bits for solving this problem. Simulation results on some graph examples show that this approach is effective.
