We consider the problem minx(x−t) A(x−t) subject to x Bx + 2b x = k where A is positive definite or positive semidefinite. Commonly occurring statistical variants of this pro...
We investigate a special case of the maximum quadratic assignment problem where one matrix is a product matrix and the other matrix is the distance matrix of a one-dimensional poi...
This contribution addresses the consideration of time windows in the optimization of multi-commodity network flows. For each node, one interval is specified in which the visitati...
The multi-objective covariance matrix adaptation evolution strategy (MO-CMA-ES) combines a mutation operator that adapts its search distribution to the underlying optimization prob...
: A general framework for solving combinatorial optimization problems heuristically by the Ant System approach is developed. The framework is based on the concept of a construction...
