An Elitist GRASP Metaheuristic for the Multi-objective Quadratic Assignment Problem
We propose an elitist Greedy Randomized Adaptive Search Procedure (GRASP) metaheuristic algorithm, called mGRASP/MH, for approximating the Pareto-optimal front in the multi-objecti...

Random cutting and records in deterministic and random trees
We study random cutting down of a rooted tree and show that the number of cuts is equal (in distribution) to the number of records in the tree when edges (or vertices) are assigned...

Randomized Robot Navigation Algorithms
We consider the problem faced by a mobile robot that has to reach a given target by traveling through an unmapped region in the plane containing oriented rectangular obstacles. We...

Hiding Satisfying Assignments: Two Are Better than One
The evaluation of incomplete satisfiability solvers depends critically on the availability of hard satisfiable instances. A plausible source of such instances consists of random k...

GRASP with Path-Relinking for the Quadratic Assignment Problem
This paper describes a GRASP with path-relinking heuristic for the quadratic assignment problem. GRASP is a multi-start procedure, where different points in the search space are p...
