In the 0-extension problem, we are given a weighted graph with some nodes marked as terminals and a semimetric on the set of terminals. Our goal is to assign the rest of the nodes ...
A binary constraints network consists of a set of n variables, defined on domains of size at most d, and a set of e binary constraints. The binary constraint satisfaction problem ...
A number of different satisfaction and optimisation combinatorial problems have recently been approached with constraint programming over the domain of finite sets, for increased d...
A novel evolutionary approach for the bin packing problem (BPP) is presented. A simple steady-state genetic algorithm is developed that produces results comparable to other approa...
A special logic synthesis problem is considered for Boolean functions which have large don’t care sets and are irregular. Here, a function is considered as irregular if the inpu...
