Optimal Scheduling of Contract Algorithms for Anytime Problems
A contract algorithm is an algorithm which is given, as part of the input, a specified amount of allowable computation time. The algorithm must then compute a solution within the ...

Optimal Anytime Constrained Simulated Annealing for Constrained Global Optimization
Abstract. In this paper we propose an optimal anytime version of constrained simulated annealing (CSA) for solving constrained nonlinear programming problems (NLPs). One of the goa...

Contract Algorithms and Robots on Rays: Unifying Two Scheduling Problems
We study two apparently different, but formally similar, scheduling problems. The first problem involves contract algorithms, which can trade off run time for solution quality, a...

A Complete Anytime Algorithm for Number Partitioning
Given a set of numbers, the two-way partitioning problem is to divide them into two subsets, so that the sum of the numbers in each subset are as nearly equal as possible. The pro...

Optimal Scheduling of Contract Algorithms with Soft Deadlines
A contract algorithm is an algorithm which is given, as part of its input, a specified amount of allowable computation time. In contrast, interruptible algorithms may be interrupt...
