Abstract. We develop a generic framework for deriving linear-size problem kernels for NP-hard problems on planar graphs. We demonstrate the usefulness of our framework in several c...
The Covering Steiner problem is a common generalization of the k-MST and Group Steiner problems. An instance of the Covering Steiner problem consists of an undirected graph with ed...
In this paper, we discuss the inverse classification problem, in which we desire to define the features of an incomplete record in such a way that will result in a desired class l...
We describe the Enhanced Evolutionary Tabu Search (EE-TS) local search technique. The EE-TS metaheuristic technique combines Reactive Tabu Search with evolutionary computing eleme...
In this paper, a new genetic mating scheme called Controlled Content Crossover (CCC) is proposed and applied to solve the optical network component allocation problem. In order to ...
