We show that the problem of optimal bit allocation among a set of independent discrete quantizers given a budget constraint is equivalent to the multiple choice knapsack problem (...
Given a connected, undirected graph G with labeled edges, the minimum-label spanning tree problem seeks a spanning tree on G to whose edges are attached the smallest possible numb...
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...

We report the first evaluation of Constraint Satisfaction as a computational framework for solving closest string problems. We show that careful consideration of symbol occurrenc...
Many metaheuristics have difficulty exploring their search space comprehensively. Exploration time and efficiency are highly dependent on the size and the ruggedness of the search...
