Restart Schedules for Ensembles of Problem Instances
The mean running time of a Las Vegas algorithm can often be dramatically reduced by periodically restarting it with a fresh random seed. The optimal restart schedule depends on th...

A Comparative Study of Linear and Semidefinite Branch-and-Cut Methods for Solving the Minimum Graph Bisection Problem
Abstract. Semidefinite relaxations are known to deliver good approximations for combinatorial optimization problems like graph bisection. Using the spectral bundle method it is pos...

On the Decomposition and Concurrent Resolution of a Planning Problem
Planning is known to be a difficult task. One of the approaches used to reduce this difficulty is problem decomposition under divide-and-conquer methodology. This paper introduce...
