Cut-and-solve: An iterative search strategy for combinatorial optimization problems
Branch-and-bound and branch-and-cut use search trees to identify optimal solutions to combinatorial optimization problems. In this paper, we introduce an iterative search strategy...

Experimental Supplements to the Theoretical Analysis of EAs on Problems from Combinatorial Optimization
It is typical for the EA community that theory follows experiments. Most theoretical approaches use some model of the considered evolutionary algorithm (EA) but there is also some ...
