Depth-first branch-and-bound (DFBnB) is a complete algorithm that is typically used to find optimal solutions of difficult combinatorial optimization problems. It can also be adap...
Abstract. Consultant-Guided Search (CGS) is a recent swarm intelligence metaheuristic for combinatorial optimization problems, inspired by the way real people make decisions based ...
Abstract. We propose a new solution approach for the Job Shop Problem with Sequence Dependent Setup Times (SDST-JSP). The problem consists in scheduling jobs, each job being a set ...

We prove that the edges of every graph of bounded (Euler) genus can be partitioned into any prescribed number k of pieces such that contracting any piece results in a graph of bou...

We study the usefulness of lookahead in online server routing problems: if an online algorithm is not only informed about the requests released so far, but also has a limited abil...
