In this paper, we develop new heuristic procedures for the maximum diversity problem (MDP). This NPhard problem has a significant number of practical applications such as environm...
Abstract. Tournament scheduling, such as the social golfer problem, has attracted significant attention in recent years because of their highly symmetrical and combinatorial natur...
