The adwords problem: online keyword matching with budgeted bidders under random permutations
We consider the problem of a search engine trying to assign a sequence of search keywords to a set of competing bidders, each with a daily spending limit. The goal is to maximize ...

Computing minimum cuts by randomized search heuristics
We study the minimum s-t-cut problem in graphs with costs on the edges in the context of evolutionary algorithms. Minimum cut problems belong to the class of basic network optimiz...

Analysis of Random Noise and Random Walk Algorithms
Random Noise and Random Walk algorithms are local search strategies that have been used for the problem of satisfiability testing (SAT). We present a Markov-chain based analysis o...

In Search of the Best Constraint Satisfaction Search
We present the results of an empirical study of several constraint satisfaction search algorithms and heuristics. Using a random problem generator that allows us to create instanc...

On the Relative Merits of Simple Local Search Methods for the MAX-SAT Problem
Algorithms based on local search are popular for solving many optimization problems including the maximum satisfiability problem (MAXSAT). With regard to MAXSAT, the state of the ...
