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...
In this communication Simulated Annealing and Genetic Algorithms, are applied to the graph partitioning problem. These techniques mimic processes in statistical mechanics and biol...
This paper reconsiders the travelling tournament problem, a complex sport-scheduling application which has attracted significant interest recently. It proposes a population-based...
We introduce a convex relaxation approach for the quadratic assignment problem to the field of computer vision. Due to convexity, a favourable property of this approach is the ab...

— In this paper, we propose a population-based implementation of simulated annealing to tackle multi-objective optimisation problems, in particular those of combinatorial nature....
