Abstract. We describe in this paper Ant-P-solver, a generic constraint solver based on the Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) metaheuristic. The ACO metaheuristic takes inspiration on t...
We consider in this paper a new lagrangean relaxation with clusters for the Manufacturer’s Pallet Loading Problem (MPLP). The relaxation is based on the MPLP formulated as a Max...

In the maximum sharing problem (MS), we want to compute a set of (non-simple) paths in an undirected bipartite graph covering as many nodes as possible of the first layer of the ...

This paper presents two new mathematical formulations for the Point-Feature Cartographic Label Placement Problem (PFCLP ) and a new Lagrangean relaxation with clusters (LagClus) t...

We consider a generalization of the Prize Collecting Steiner Tree Problem on a graph with special redundancy requirements on a subset of the customer nodes suitable to model a rea...
