In multistage cutting stock problems (CSP) the cutting process is distributed over several successive stages. Every stage except the last one produces intermediate products. The l...
We study local interchangeability of values in constraint networks based on a new approach where a single value in the domain of a variable can be treated as a combination of &quo...
Abstract. This contribution is concerned with the formulation of a heterogeneous multiscale finite elements method (HMM) for solving linear advectiondiffusion problems with rapidly...
A parallel simulated annealing algorithm to solve the vehicle routing problem with time windows is presented. The objective is to find the best possible solutions to some wellkno...
In this paper we present a genetic algorithm-based heuristic for solving the set partitioning problem (SPP). The SPP is an important combinatorial optimisation problem used by man...
