Exploiting vector space properties to strengthen the relaxation of bilinear programs arising in the global optimization of proce
In this paper we present a methodology for finding tight convex relaxations for a special set of quadratic constraints given by bilinear and linear terms that frequently arise in ...

Ant Colony Optimization for Tree Decompositions
Instances of constraint satisfaction problems can be solved efficiently if they are representable as a tree decomposition of small width. Unfortunately, the task of finding a deco...
