Abstract. The rooted delay-constrained minimum spanning tree problem is an NP-hard combinatorial optimization problem arising for example in the design of centralized broadcasting ...
Abstract-- The Maximum Parsimony problem aims at reconstructing a phylogenetic tree from DNA sequences while minimizing the number of genetic transformations. To solve this NP-comp...
Recent work has shown the promise in using local-search “probes” as a basis for directing a backtracking-based refinement search. In this approach, the decision about the next...

In this paper we examine five different strategies for limiting the local search neighborhoods in the context of vehicle routing problems. The vehicle routing problem deals with th...
The main goal of the motif finding problem is to detect novel, over-represented unknown signals in a set of sequences (e.g. transcription factor binding sites in a genome). The mo...
