Given an undirected graph with n nodes, the Maximum Leaf Spanning Tree problem is to find a spanning tree with as many leaves as possible. When parameterized in the number of leav...

— In this paper we present a new nature-inspired variation operator for binary encodings in genetic algorithms (GAs). Our method, called implicit alternative splicing (iAS), is r...
Traditionally, combinatorial optimization problems (such as maximum flow, maximum matching, etc.) have been studied for networks where each link has a fixed capacity. Recent resear...

We consider the generalized assignment problem in which the objective is to find a minimum cost assignment of a set of jobs to a set of agents subject to resource constraints. Th...
A continuous maximum flow problem finds the largest t such that div v = t F(x, y) is possible with a capacity constraint (v1, v2) ≤ c(x, y). The dual problem finds a minimum ...
