In recent years, the size of combinatorial applications and the need to produce high-quality solutions quickly have increased steadily, providing significant challenges for optim...
Depth-first branch-and-bound (DFBnB) is a complete algorithm that is typically used to find optimal solutions of difficult combinatorial optimization problems. It can also be adap...
Dynamic Programming solves combinatorial optimization problems by recursive decomposition and tabulation of intermediate results. The first step in the design of a dynamic program...
This paper deals with facility location problems with pos=neg weights in trees. We consider two di erent objective functions which model two di erent ways to handle obnoxious faci...
Abstract. Evolutionary algorithms have been shown to be very successful for a wide range of NP-hard combinatorial optimization problems. We investigate the NP-hard problem of compu...
