A global cardinality constraint (gcc) is specified in terms of a set of variables X = {x1, ..., xp} which take their values in a subset of V = {v1, ..., vd}. It constrains the numb...
The discrete particle swarm optimization (DPSO) is a kind of particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm to find optimal solutions for discrete problems. This paper proposes an i...
Beam-ACO algorithms are hybrid methods that combine the metaheuristic ant colony optimization with beam search. They heavily rely on accurate and computationally inexpensive boundi...
We give a 7.18-approximation algorithm for the minimum latency problem that uses only O(n log n) calls to the prize-collecting Steiner tree (PCST) subroutine of Goemans and Willia...
An uncertain geo-spatial dataset is a collection of geo-spatial objects that do not represent accurately real-world entities. Each object has a confidence value indicating how lik...
