An Efficient Heuristic Approach to Solve the Unate Covering Problem
The classical solving approach for two-level logic minimisation reduces the problem to a special case of unate covering and attacks the latter with a (possibly limited) branch-and...

Negative thinking by incremental problem solving: application to unate covering
We introduce a new technique to solve exactly a discrete optimization problem, based on the paradigm of “negative” thinking. The motivation is that when searching the space of...

A Clustering Approach to Solving Large Stochastic Matching Problems
In this work we focus on efficient heuristics for solving a class of stochastic planning problems that arise in a variety of business, investment, and industrial applications. The...

A hybrid heuristic approach for solving the generalized traveling salesman problem
The generalized traveling salesman problem (GTSP) is an NPhard problem that extends the classical traveling salesman problem by partitioning the nodes into clusters and looking fo...

A large neighbourhood search approach to the multi-activity shift scheduling problem
The challenge in shift scheduling lies in the construction of a set of work shifts, which are subject to specific regulations, in order to cover fluctuating staff demands. This pro...
