In this paper we provide a general classification of mathematical optimization problems, followed by a matrix of applications that shows the areas in which these problems have bee...
Evolutionary problem decomposition techniques divide a complex problem into simpler subproblems, evolve individuals to produce subcomponents that solve the subproblems, and then a...

The Vehicle Routing Problem can be seen as a fusion of two well known combinatorial problems, the Travelling Salesman Problem and Bin Packing Problem. It has several variants, the...
The class of stochastic nonlinear programming (SNLP) problems is important in optimization due to the presence of nonlinearity and uncertainty in many applications, including thos...
In the longest common subsequence problem the task is to find the longest sequence of letters that can be found as subsequence in all members of a given finite set of sequences....
