We present a general framework for approximating several NP-hard problems that have two underlying properties in common. First, the problems we consider can be formulated as intege...
The multiobjective problem with fuzzy goals (which may also represent fuzzy right hand sides of the constraints) is formulated as a fuzzy goal programming problem. A new approach ...
Abstract. Although algorithms for Distributed Constraint Optimization Problems (DCOPs) have emerged as a key technique for distributed reasoning, their application faces significa...
In this paper we argue that an attractive and potentially very general way of achieving generalized arc consistency (GAC) on a constraint is by using unit propagation (UP) over a C...
We investigate some approaches to solving nonconvex global optimization problems by convex nonlinear programming methods. We assume that the problem becomes convex when selected va...
