The crossing number problem is to find the smallest number of edge crossings necessary when drawing a graph into the plane. Eventhough the problem is NP-hard, we are interested in ...
The Linear Ordering Problem with Cumulative Costs is an NP-hard combinatorial optimization problem arising from an application in UMTS mobile-phone communication systems. This pap...
Linear ordering problems are combinatorial optimization problems which deal with the minimization of different functionals in which the graph vertices are mapped onto (1, 2, ..., ...
We extend multiclass SVM to multiple prototypes per class. For this framework, we give a compact constrained quadratic problem and we suggest an efficient algorithm for its optimi...
Nowadays a placement problem often involves multi-million objects and excessive fixed blockages. We present a new global placement algorithm that scales well to the modern large-s...
