Abstract. This paper presents a hybridization of a Constraint Programming (CP) model and search techniques with Local Search (LS) and some ideas borrowed from Genetic Algorithms (G...

— In the last decade, graph-cut optimization has been popular for a variety of labeling problems. Typically graph-cut methods are used to incorporate smoothness constraints on a ...
Scheduling is one of the most successful application areas of constraint programming mainly thanks to special global constraints designed to model resource restrictions. Among thes...
In comparing genomic maps, it is often difficult to distinguish mapping errors and incorrectly resolved paralogies from genuine rearrangements of the genomes. A solution to this ...

We improve the approximation ratios for two optimization problems in planar graphs. For node-weighted Steiner tree, a classical network-optimization problem, the best achievable ap...
