Digital circuits with feedback loops can solve some instances of NP-hard problems by relaxation: the circuit will either oscillate or settle down to a stable state that represents...

Abstract. Semidefinite relaxations are known to deliver good approximations for combinatorial optimization problems like graph bisection. Using the spectral bundle method it is pos...
: In this paper we present, to our knowledge, the first application of a metaheuristic technique to the very popular and NP-complete puzzle known as ‘sudoku’. We see that this ...
In the past decade, there has been a stream of work in designing approximation schemes for dense instances of NP-Hard problems. These include the work of Arora, Karger and Karpins...
An innovative technique based on multi-objective grammar guided genetic programming (MOG3P-MI) is proposed to detect the most relevant activities that a student needs to pass a cou...
