We consider the problem of removing a given disk from a collection of unit disks in the plane. At each step, we allow a disk to be removed by a collision-free translation to infin...
To solve real-world discrete optimization problems approximately metaheuristics such as simulated annealing and other local search methods are commonly used. For large instances o...
Abstract. A classical problem in query optimization is to find the optimal ordering of a set of possibly correlated selections. We provide an ion of this problem as a generalizati...
