: 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...
The footwear industry's need for an automatic containment algorithm is becoming increasingly important within the manufacturing process. Irregular containers, such as hides, ...
An important research thread in algorithmic game theory studies the design of efficient truthful mechanisms that approximate the optimal social welfare. A fundamental question is ...
In this paper, we apply the primal-dual decomposition and subgradient projection methods to solve the rate-distortion optimization problem with the constant bit rate constraint. Th...
Several general purpose benchmark generators are now available in the literature. They are convenient tools in dynamic continuous optimization as they can produce test instances w...
