— We present a new optimization procedure which is particularly suited for the solution of second-order kernel methods like e.g. Kernel-PCA. Common to these methods is that there...
— This paper discusses the problem of generating patrol paths for a team of mobile robots inside a designated target area. Patrolling requires an area to be visited repeatedly by...
Constraint satisfaction and propositional satisfiability problems are often solved using backtracking search. Previous studies have shown that portfolios of backtracking algorith...
We discuss how constraint programming can improve the performance of a column generation solution process for the NP-hard Tail Assignment problem in aircraft scheduling. Combining...
Arc consistency filtering is widely used in the framework of binary constraint satisfaction problems: with a low complexity, inconsistency may be detected,and domains are filtered...
