Sudoku is a notorious logic-based puzzle that is popular with puzzle enthusiasts the world over. From a computational perspective, Sudoku is also a problem that belongs to the set ...
Abstract. In this paper we propose an optimal anytime version of constrained simulated annealing (CSA) for solving constrained nonlinear programming problems (NLPs). One of the goa...
All existing methods for thermal-via allocation are based on a steady-state thermal analysis and may lead to excessive number of thermal vias. This paper develops an accurate and ...
Abstract. This research develops an optimal planning model for pump-treatinject based groundwater remediation systems. Optimizing the design of the pump-treat-inject system is a no...
This paper introduces a new optimization technique called hyperplane annealing. It is similar to the mean field annealing approach to combinatorial optimization. Both annealing te...
