A new stochastic method for locating the global minimum of a multidimensional function inside a rectangular hyperbox is presented. A sampling technique is employed that makes use ...
We exemplify an optimization criterion for divide-and-conquer algorithms with a technique called generic competitive graph search. The technique is then applied to solve two probl...
Abstract. A methodology is presented for tackling mixed-integer nonlinear optimization problems by local search, in particular large-scale real-life problems. This methodology is i...
Abstract—We first present a problem called precedence constrained two traveling salesman (PC2TSP). We propose a nearoptimal heuristic to PC2TSP to generate tours by clustering p...
Similarity search in time series data is required in many application fields. The most prominent work has focused on similarity search considering either complete time series or si...
