We study the problem of projecting a distribution onto (or finding a maximum likelihood distribution among) Markov networks of bounded tree-width. By casting it as the combinatori...
In many information networks, data items – such as updates in social networks, news flowing through interconnected RSS feeds and blogs, measurements in sensor networks, route u...
This paper deals with the generation of balanced incomplete block designs (BIBD), a hard constrained combinatorial problem with multiple applications. This problem is here formulat...
We study various optimization problems in t-subtree graphs, the intersection graphs of tsubtrees, where a t-subtree is the union of t disjoint subtrees of some tree. This graph cl...
The Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Windows is a complex combinatorial problem with many real-world applications in transportation and distribution logistics. Its main objective...
