This paper studies the problem of finding a minimum-length schedule of a power-controlled wireless network subject to traffic demands and SINR (signal-to-interferenceplus-noise rat...
The vehicle routing problem with multiple use of vehicles is a variant of the classical vehicle routing problem. It arises when each vehicle performs several routes during the wor...
In the past decade, significant progress has been achieved in developing generic primal heuristics that made their way into commercial mixed integer programming (MIP) solver. Exte...

Column generation algorithms have been specially designed for solving mathematical programs with a huge number of variables. Unfortunately, this method suffers from slow convergen...
In this paper we address a real world optimisation problem, the Rail Track Inspection Scheduling Problem (RTISP). This problem consists of scheduling network inspection tasks. The...
In multistage cutting stock problems (CSP) the cutting process is distributed over several successive stages. Every stage except the last one produces intermediate products. The l...
The Airline Crew Assignment Problem (ACA) consists of assigning lines of work to a set of crew members such that a set of activities is partitioned and the costs for that assignmen...
Column generation has become a powerful tool in solving large scale integer programs. It is well known that most of the often reported compatibility issues between pricing subprobl...

In this paper, we study different strategies to stabilize and accelerate the column generation method, when it is applied specifically to the variable sized bin-packing problem,...
This paper considers the design of two-layered fully interconnected networks.A two-layered network consists of clusters of nodes, each defining an access network and a backbone n...
