Variable neighborhood search and local branching
In this paper we develop a variable neighborhood search (VNS) heuristic for solving mixed-integer programs (MIPs). It uses CPLEX, the general-purpose MIP solver, as a black-box. N...

Analog placement with common centroid and 1-D symmetry constraints
— 1In this paper, we will present a placement method for analog circuits. We consider both common centroid and 1-D symmetry constraints, which are the two most common types of pl...

Exploiting the Marginal Profits of Constraints with Evolutionary Multi-Objective Optimization Techniques
Many real-world search and optimization problems naturally involve constraint handling. Recently, quite a few heuristic methods were proposed to solve the nonlinear constrained op...

Planar Graphs with Topological Constraints
We address in this paper the problem of constructing embeddings of planar graphs satisfying declarative, user-defined topological constraints. The constraints consist each of a cy...

Conditional hardness for satisfiable 3-CSPs
In this paper we study a fundamental open problem in the area of probabilistic checkable proofs: What is the smallest s such that NP naPCP1,s[O(log n), 3]? In the language of har...
