We present a unified heuristic, which is able to solve five different variants of the vehicle routing problem: the vehicle routing problem with time windows (VRPTW), the capacit...
This paper introduces a new component based model that makes it relatively simple to prove that certain types of landscapes are elementary. We use the model to reconstruct proofs ...
We focus on the Golomb ruler problem, a hard constrained combinatorial optimization problem. Two alternative encodings are considered, one based on the direct representation of sol...
Wind energy has an increasing influence on the energy supply in many countries, but in contrast to conventional power plants it is a fluctuating energy source. For its integration...
We present a Bayesian search algorithm for learning the structure of latent variable models of continuous variables. We stress the importance of applying search operators designed...
