The fitness landscape of the resource constrained project scheduling problem is investigated by examining the search space position type distribution and the correlation between t...
We derive optimal bidding strategies for a global bidder who participates in multiple, simultaneous second-price auctions with perfect substitutes. We first consider a model where...

Convexity is an important property in nonlinear optimization since it allows to apply efficient local methods for finding global solutions. We propose to apply symbolic methods t...
Most algorithms for real-time tracking of deformable shapes provide sub-optimal solutions for a suitable energy minimization task: The search space is typically considered too lar...
