The purpose of this paper is to apply the scatter search methodology to general classes of binary problems. We focus on optimization problems for which the solutions are represent...
This paper presents an improved version of a simple evolution strategy (SES) to solve global nonlinear optimization problems. As its previous version, the approach does not require...
This paper presents several important enhancements to the recently published multilevel placement package mPL [12]. The improvements include (i) unconstrained quadratic relaxation...
