A spanning tree of a graph such that each vertex in the tree has degree at most d is called a degree-constrained spanning tree. The problem of finding the degree-constrained spann...
This paper describes a new Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) algorithm for solving Graph Matching Problems, the goal of which is to find the best matching between vertices of multi-la...
We introduce a new technique to solve exactly a discrete optimization problem, based on the paradigm of “negative” thinking. The motivation is that when searching the space of...

We develop approximation algorithms for the problem of placing replicated data in arbitrary networks, where the nodes may both issue requests for data objects and have capacity fo...
Credit institutions are seldom faced with problems dealing with single objectives. Often, decisions involving optimizing two or more competing goals simultaneously need to be made...
