This paper investigates the word problem for inverse monoids generated by a set Γ subject to relations of the form e = f, where e and f are both idempotents in the free inverse m...
Abstract. In constraint satisfaction, a general rule is to tackle the hardest part of a search problem first. In this paper, we introduce a parameter (τ) that measures the constr...
Abstract- Simulated annealing (SA) is an effective general heuristic method for solving many combinatorial optimization problems. This paper deals with two problems in SA. One is ...
We present an algorithm for solving a general min-cut, twoway partitioning problem subject to timing constraints. The problem is formulated as a constrained programming problem an...
We introduce the multiple capacitated job shop scheduling problem as a generalization of the job shop scheduling problem. In this problem machines may process several operations s...
