Approximation algorithms for stochastic orienteering
In the Stochastic Orienteering problem, we are given a metric, where each node also has a job located there with some deterministic reward and a random size. (Think of the jobs as...

Approximation Algorithms for Hamming Clustering Problems
We study Hamming versions of two classical clustering problems. The Hamming radius p-clustering problem (HRC) for a set S of k binary strings, each of length n, is to find p bina...

Evolving heuristically difficult instances of combinatorial problems
When evaluating a heuristic for a combinatorial problem, randomly generated instances of the problem may not provide a thorough exploration of the heuristic's performance, an...

A cutting-plane approach for the two-dimensional orthogonal non-guillotine cutting problem
The two-dimensional orthogonal non-guillotine cutting problem (NGCP) appears in many industries (like wood and steel industries) and consists in cutting a rectangular master surfa...
