1 This paper provides a new, generalized approach to the problem of encoding information as vectors of binary digits. We furnish a formal definition for the Boolean constrained enc...
Abstract. In many situations, a set of hard constraints encodes the feasible configurations of some system or product over which users have preferences. We consider the problem of...
—The noise-robust matching of two graphs is a hard combinatorial problem with practical importance in several domains. In practical applications, a unique solution for a given in...
We consider large volume job shop scheduling problems, in which there is a fixed number of machines, a bounded number of activities per job, and a large number of jobs. In large v...
The Gaussian plume model is a standard approach for studying the transport of airborne contaminants due to turbulent diffusion and advection by the wind. This paper reviews the as...
