Primal-dual meets local search: approximating MST's with nonuniform degree bounds
We present a new bicriteria approximation algorithm for the degree-bounded minimum-cost spanning tree problem: Given an undirected graph with nonnegative edge weights and degree b...

Tackling the Error Correcting Code Problem Via the Cooperation of Local-Search-Based Agents
We consider the problem of designing error correcting codes (ECC), a hard combinatorial optimization problem of relevance in the field of telecommunications. This problem is firs...

Algorithm for optimal winner determination in combinatorial auctions
Combinatorial auctions, that is, auctions where bidders can bid on combinations of items, tend to lead to more efficient allocations than traditional auction mechanisms in multi-i...

Randomized Local Search, Evolutionary Algorithms, and the Minimum Spanning Tree Problem
Randomized search heuristics, among them randomized local search and evolutionary algorithms, are applied to problems whose structure is not well understood, as well as to problems...

A genetic algorithm for privacy preserving combinatorial optimization
We propose a protocol for a local search and a genetic algorithm for the distributed traveling salesman problem (TSP). In the distributed TSP, information regarding the cost funct...
