Abstract-- The Maximum Parsimony problem aims at reconstructing a phylogenetic tree from DNA sequences while minimizing the number of genetic transformations. To solve this NP-comp...
We investigate a bi-variate probabilistic model-building GA for the graph bipartitioning problem. The graph bipartitioning problem is a grouping problem that requires some modifi...
- This paper presents an optimal algorithm for solving the problem of simultaneous fanout optimization and routing tree construction for an ordered set of critical sinks. The algor...
Decomposition is a powerful technique for reducing the size of a backtracking search tree. However, when solving constraint optimization problems (COP's) the standard techniqu...
Branch-and-bound and branch-and-cut use search trees to identify optimal solutions to combinatorial optimization problems. In this paper, we introduce an iterative search strategy...
