Vehicle routing problem (VRP) is a well-known combinatorial optimization and nonlinear programming problem seeking to service a number of customers with a fleet of vehicles. This ...
A new stochastic method for locating the global minimum of a multidimensional function inside a rectangular hyperbox is presented. A sampling technique is employed that makes use ...
We consider the problem of efficiently designing sets (codes) of equal-length DNA strings (words) that satisfy certain combinatorial constraints. This problem has numerous motivati...
This paper presents an automatic design method for piping arrangement. A pipe arrangement design problem is proposed for a space in which many pipes and objects co-exist. This pro...
