A Column Generation Based Destructive Lower Bound for Resource Constrained Project Scheduling Problems
In this paper we present a destructive lower bound for a number of resource constrained project scheduling (RCPS) problems, which is based on column generation. We first look at t...

Connections in Networks: Hardness of Feasibility Versus Optimality
We study the complexity of combinatorial problems that consist of competing infeasibility and optimization components. In particular, we investigate the complexity of the connectio...

Hybrid Local Search for Constrained Financial Portfolio Selection Problems
Portfolio selection is a relevant problem arising in finance and economics. While its basic formulations can be efficiently solved through linear or quadratic programming, its mor...

The Linear Programming Polytope of Binary Constraint Problems with Bounded Tree-Width
We show how to efficiently model binary constraint problems (BCP) as integer programs. After considering tree-structured BCPs first, we show that a Sherali-Adams-like procedure r...

Preprocessing Expression-Based Constraint Satisfaction Problems for Stochastic Local Search
Abstract. This work presents methods for processing a constraint satisfaction problem (CSP) formulated by an expression-based language, before the CSP is presented to a stochastic ...

Eliminating Redundant Clauses in SAT Instances
In this paper, we investigate to which extent the elimination of a class of redundant clauses in SAT instances could improve the efficiency of modern satisfiability provers. Sinc...

Replenishment Planning for Stochastic Inventory Systems with Shortage Cost
One of the most important policies adopted in inventory control is the (R,S) policy (also known as the “replenishment cycle” policy). Under the non-stationary demand assumption...

A Global Constraint for Total Weighted Completion Time
We introduce a novel global constraint for the total weighted completion time of activities on a single unary capacity resource. For propagating the constraint, an O(n4 ) algorithm...
