Maximum satisfiability (Max-SAT) is more general and more difficult to solve than satisfiability (SAT). In this paper, we first investigate the effectiveness of Walksat, one of th...
The local search algorithm WSat is one of the most successful algorithms for solving the satisfiability (SAT) problem. It is notably effective at solving hard Random 3-SAT instanc...
We consider complex scheduling problems that can be captured as optimization under hard and soft constraints. The objective of such an optimization problem is to satisfy as many h...
Tabu search algorithms are amongst the most successful local search based methods for the maximum satisfiability problem. The practical superiority of tabu search over the local s...
We present some theoretical results related to the problem
of actively searching for a target in a 3D environment,
under the constraint of a maximum search time. We define
the o...
