This paper presents operators searching large neighborhoods in order to solve the vehicle routing problem. They make use of the pruning and propagation techniques of constraint pr...

This paper presents a local search algorithm based on variable depth search, called the k-opt local search, for the maximum clique problem. The k-opt local search performs add and...
We recall the basic idea of an algebraic approach to learning Bayesian network (BN) structures, namely to represent every BN structure by a certain (uniquely determined) vector, c...
Let G = (V, E) be a graph with vertex set V and edge set E. The k-coloring problem is to assign a color (a number chosen in {1, . . . , k}) to each vertex of G so that no edge has...
We propose a method for local search of Boolean relations relating variables of a CNF formula. The method is to branch on small subsets of the set of CNF variables and to analyze ...
