To solve real-world discrete optimization problems approximately metaheuristics such as simulated annealing and other local search methods are commonly used. For large instances o...
This paper deals with the evaluation of acyclic Boolean conjunctive queries in relational databases. By well-known results of Yannakakis [1981], this problem is solvable in polynom...
Background: Optimization theory has been applied to complex biological systems to interrogate network properties and develop and refine metabolic engineering strategies. For examp...
