Engineering design increasingly uses computer simulation models coupled with optimization algorithms to find the best design that meets the customer constraints within a time con...
Combinatorial auctions are important as they enable bidders to place bids on combinations of items; compared to other auction mechanisms, they often increase the efficiency of the...
Many inequalities for Mixed-Integer Linear Programs (MILPs) or pure Integer Linear Programs (ILPs) are derived from the Gomory corner relaxation, where all the nonbinding constrai...
The imposition of general disjunctions of the form “πx ≤ π0 ∨ πx ≥ π0 + 1”, where π, π0 are integer valued, is a fundamental operation in both the branch-and-bound...
Genetic programming may be seen as a recent incarnation of a long-held goal in evolutionary computation: to develop actual computational devices through evolutionary search. Geneti...
