Espresso-HF: A Heuristic Hazard-Free Minimizer for Two-Level Logic
-- We present a new heuristic algorithm for hazard-free minimization of two-level logic. On nearly all examples, the algorithm finds an exactly minimum-cost cover. It also solves s...

Solving Non-Boolean Satisfiability Problems with Stochastic Local Search
Much excitement has been generated by the success of stochastic local search procedures at finding solutions to large, very hard satisfiability problems. Many of the problems on wh...

Large-scale multi-period precedence constrained knapsack problem: A mining application
We study an extension of the precedence constrained knapsack problem where the knapsack can be filled in multiple periods. This problem is known in the mining industry as the open...
