Variable neighborhood search and local branching
In this paper we develop a variable neighborhood search (VNS) heuristic for solving mixed-integer programs (MIPs). It uses CPLEX, the general-purpose MIP solver, as a black-box. N...

Random Subsets Support Learning a Mixture of Heuristics
Problem solvers, both human and machine, have at their disposal many heuristics that may support effective search. The efficacy of these heuristics, however, varies with the probl...

EWA: exact wiring-sizing algorithm
The wire sizing problem under inequality Elmore delay constraints is known to be posynomial, hence convex under an exponential variable-transformation. There are formal methods fo...

Reducing the Size of Traveling Salesman Problem Instances by Fixing Edges
Abstract. The Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) is a well-known NPhard combinatorial optimization problem, for which a large variety of evolutionary algorithms are known. However, t...

A Heuristic Incremental Modeling Approach to Course Timetabling
Abstract. The general timetabling problem is an assignment of activities to xed time intervals, adhering to a prede ned set of resource availabilities. Timetabling problems are di ...
