We introduce a new combinatorial optimization problem, which is a generalization of the Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) and which we call Traveling Salesman Problem of Second Orde...
The multilevel generalized assignment problem (MGAP) is a variation of the generalized assignment problem, in which agents can execute tasks at different efficiency levels with di...
We study the average-case performance of algorithms for the binary knapsack problem. Our focus lies on the analysis of so-called core algorithms, the predominant algorithmic conce...
In this paper, we study shelf space allocation optimization which is important to retail operations management. Our approach is to formulate a model that is applicable to operatio...

An important class of heuristics for constraint satisfaction problems works by sampling information during search in order to inform subsequent decisions. One of these strategies, ...
