Minimum vertex cover problem (MVCP) is an NP-hard problem and it has numerous real life applications. This paper presents hybrid genetic algorithm (HGA) to solve MVCP efficiently. ...
Covering and packing integer programs model a large family of combinatorial optimization problems. The current-best approximation algorithms for these are an instance of the basic...
Abstract. This paper presents a new Memetic Algorithm (MA) designed to compute near-optimal solutions for the covering array construction problem. It incorporates several distingui...
Suppose we are given a finite set of points P in R3 and a collection of polytopes T that are all translates of the same polytope T. We consider two problems in this paper. The firs...
Covering arrays can be applied to the testing of software, hardware and advanced materials, and to the effects of hormone interaction on gene expression. In this paper we develop c...
