The robust spanning tree problem is a variation, motivated by telecommunications applications, of the classic minimum spanning tree problem. In the robust spanning tree problem ed...
This paper discusses a new solution to university course timetabling problems. The problems that belong to the NP-hard class are very difficult to solve using conventional optimiza...
This paper presents an improved differential evolution (IDE) method for the solution of large-scale unit commitment (UC) problems. The objective of the proposed scheme is to determ...
The class of constraint satisfactions problems (CSPs) captures many fundamental combinatorial optimization problems such as Max Cut, Max q-Cut, Unique Games, and Max k-Sat. Recent...
Abstract. We present a parameterized approximation scheme for distributed combinatorial optimization problems based on dynamic programming. The algorithm is a utility propagation m...
