We consider the probabilistic relationship between the value of a random asymmetric traveling salesman problem ATSP(M) and the value of its assignment relaxation AP(M). We assume ...
This article addresses an extension of the multi-depot vehicle routing problem in which vehicles may be replenished at intermediate depots along their route. It proposes a heurist...
We present a formal analysis of the database layout problem, i.e., the problem of determining how database objects such as tables and indexes are assigned to disk drives. Optimizin...
In multi-criteria optimization, several objective functions are to be optimized. Since the different objective functions are usually in conflict with each other, one cannot conside...
Abstract. In this paper we present a novel analysis of a random sampling approach for three clustering problems in metric spaces: k-median, min-sum kclustering, and balanced k-medi...
