The paper describes a constraint-based solution to the protein folding problem on face-centered cubic lattices—a biologically meaningful approximation of the general protein fol...
In this paper we describe the problem of Optimal Competitive Scheduling, which consists of activities that compete for a shared resource. The objective is to choose a subset of ac...

The problem of designing workforce shifts and break patterns is a relevant employee scheduling problem that arises in many contexts, especially in service industries. The issue is ...
We investigate some approaches to solving nonconvex global optimization problems by convex nonlinear programming methods. We assume that the problem becomes convex when selected va...
Abstract— Many problems associated with networked systems can be formulated as network utility maximization (NUM) problems. NUM problems maximize a global separable measure of ne...
