Recent years have seen growth in the number of algorithms designed to solve challenging simulation-based nonlinear optimization problems. One such algorithm is the Trust-Region Par...
Vector algorithms allow the computation of an output vector r = r1r2 :::rm given an input vector e = e1e2 :::em in a bounded number of operations, independent of m the length of t...
In this paper, we study the two-dimensional geometrical bin packing problem (2DBP): given a list of rectangles, provide a packing of all these into the smallest possible number of ...
Approximate dynamic programming is emerging as a powerful tool for certain classes of multistage stochastic, dynamic problems that arise in operations research. It has been applie...
In k-means clustering we are given a set of n data points in d-dimensional space d and an integer k, and the problem is to determine a set of k points in d , called centers, to mi...
