The Walksat local search algorithm has previously been extended to handle quantification over variables. This greatly reduces model sizes, but in order to guide greedy moves the a...
Abstract. The genomic median problem is an optimization problem inspired by a biological issue: it aims at finding the chromosome organization of the common ancestor to multiple li...
SAT and MAX SAT are among the most prominent problems for which local search algorithms have been successfully applied. A fundamental task for such an algorithm is to increase the...
We consider complex scheduling problems that can be captured as optimization under hard and soft constraints. The objective of such an optimization problem is to satisfy as many h...
The multi-processor total tardiness problem (MPTTP) is an ÆÈ-hard scheduling problem, in which the goal is to minimise the tardiness of a set of jobs that are processed on a numb...
