Evolutionary solving of the debts’ clearing problem

The debts’ clearing problem is about clearing all the debts in a group of n entities (banks, companies etc.) using a minimal number of money transaction operations. The problem is known to be NP-hard in the strong sense. As for many intractable problems, techniques from the field of artificial intel...
