Abstract. We present a new method to break symmetry in graph coloring problems. While most alternative techniques add symmetry breaking predicates in a pre-processing step, we deve...
A network with restoration capability requires spare capacity to be used in the case of failure. Optimization of spare capacity is to find the minimum amount of spare capacity for ...
This paper introduces a new component based model that makes it relatively simple to prove that certain types of landscapes are elementary. We use the model to reconstruct proofs ...
We describe a general approach to optimization which we term Squeaky Wheel" Optimization SWO. In SWO, a greedy algorithm is used to construct a solution which is then analyze...
Abstract. Squaregraphs were originally defined as finite plane graphs in which all inner faces are quadrilaterals (i.e., 4-cycles) and all inner vertices (i.e., the vertices not in...
