This paper reports work investigating various evolutionary approaches to vertex cover (VC), a well-known NP-Hard optimization problem. Central to each of the algorithms is a novel ...
Given a k-uniform hypergraph on n vertices, partitioned in k equal parts such that every hyperedge includes one vertex from each part, the k-Dimensional Matching problem asks wheth...
In this paper, a new heuristic-based approach is introduced to extract minimally unsatisfiable subformulas (in short, MUSes) of SAT instances. It is shown that it often outperforms...
- Most of the direct-cover Boolean minimization techniques use a four step cyclic algorithm. First, the algorithm chooses an On-minterm; second, it generates the set of prime impli...
Covering and packing integer programs model a large family of combinatorial optimization problems. The current-best approximation algorithms for these are an instance of the basic...
