The contribution presents a heuristic for the three-dimensional strip packing problem (3D-SPP) with rectangular pieces (boxes). The considered 3D-SPP can be formulated as follows:...
Consider a simple network flow problem in which there are n channels directed from a source to a sink. The channel capacities are unknown and we wish to determine a feasible netwo...
—In some applications, the probability of error of a given classifier is too high for its practical application, but we are allowed to gather more independent test samples from ...
A new stochastic clustering algorithm is introduced that aims to locate all the local minima of a multidimensional continuous and differentiable function inside a bounded domain. ...
Consider the following problem: given a metric space, some of whose points are "clients," select a set of at most k facility locations to minimize the average distance f...
