: This paper describes the implementation of a meta-heuristic optimization approach, Tabu Search (TS), for Heat Exchanger Networks (HEN) synthesis and compares this approach to oth...
Portfolio selection is a relevant problem arising in finance and economics. While its basic formulations can be efficiently solved through linear or quadratic programming, its mor...

The main aim of randomized search heuristics is to produce good approximations of optimal solutions within a small amount of time. In contrast to numerous experimental results, th...

The global search properties of heuristic search algorithms are not well understood. In this paper, we introduce a new metric, mobility, that quantifies the dispersion of local o...

The resolution of a Multi-Objective Optimization Problem (MOOP) does not end when the Pareto-optimal set is found. In real problems, a single solution must be selected. Ideally, t...
