For noisy optimization problems, there is generally a trade-off between the effort spent to reduce the noise (in order to allow the optimization algorithm to run properly), and t...
We describe a generator for hierarchical problems called the Hierarchical Problem Generator (HPG). Hierarchical problems are of interest since they constitute a class of problems ...

This paper deals with the job-shop scheduling problem with sequencedependent setup times. We propose a new method to solve the makespan minimization problem to optimality. The met...
Of interest here are linear data fitting problems with uncertain data which lie in a given uncertainty set. A robust counterpart of such a problem may be interpreted as the probl...
Many real-life scheduling, routing and location problems can be formulated as combinatorial optimization problems whose goal is to find a linear layout of an input graph in such a ...
