We consider soft constraint problems where some of the preferences may be unspecified. This models, for example, situations with several agents providing the data, or with possibl...

Minimum vertex cover problem (MVCP) is an NP-hard problem and it has numerous real life applications. This paper presents hybrid genetic algorithm (HGA) to solve MVCP efficiently. ...
This paper extends the set of problems for which a global solution can be found using modern optimization methods. In particular, the method is applied to estimation of the essent...
Point-based algorithms have been surprisingly successful in computing approximately optimal solutions for partially observable Markov decision processes (POMDPs) in high dimension...
Global optimization can be used as the main component for reliable decision support systems. In this contribution, we explore numerical solution techniques for nonconvex and nondi...
