Combinatorial auctions can be used to reach efficient resource and task allocations in multiagent systems where the items are complementary. Determining the winners is NP-complete...
The hurdles in solving Constrained Optimization Problems (COP) arise from the challenge of searching a huge variable space in order to locate feasible points with acceptable solut...

This paper proposes a method to use reference points as preferences to guide a particle swarm algorithm to search towards preferred regions of the Pareto front. A decision maker c...
In orthodontics, retraction springs made of metallic wires are often used to move a tooth with respect to another by the virtue of the spring back effect. Specially selected form o...
We present an algorithm for large-scale equality constrained optimization. The method is based on a characterization of inexact sequential quadratic programming (SQP) steps that ca...
