The challenge in shift scheduling lies in the construction of a set of work shifts, which are subject to specific regulations, in order to cover fluctuating staff demands. This pro...
Hyper-heuristics are new approaches which aim at raising the level of abstraction when solving combinatorial optimisation problems. In this paper we introduce a new hyper-heuristi...
The Walksat local search algorithm has previously been extended to handle quantification over variables. This greatly reduces model sizes, but in order to guide greedy moves the a...
A popular approach in combinatorial optimization is to model problems as integer linear programs. Ideally, the relaxed linear program would have only integer solutions, which happ...
ABSTRACT. In this paper we discuss an abstract iteration scheme for the calculation of the smallest eigenvalue of an elliptic operator eigenvalue problem. A short and geometric pro...
