We present a novel distributed algorithm for the maximal independent set (MIS) problem.1 On bounded-independence graphs (BIG) our deterministic algorithm finishes in O(log n) time,...
— The problem of finding an optimal path in an uncertain graph arises in numerous applications, including network routing, path-planning for vehicles, and the control of finite...
Abstract. We describe in this paper Ant-P-solver, a generic constraint solver based on the Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) metaheuristic. The ACO metaheuristic takes inspiration on t...
We consider in this paper a new lagrangean relaxation with clusters for the Manufacturer’s Pallet Loading Problem (MPLP). The relaxation is based on the MPLP formulated as a Max...

How to color 3 colorable graphs with few colors is a problem of longstanding interest. The best polynomial-time algorithm uses n0.2072 colors. There are no indications that colori...
