Abstract. The first computer implementation of the Dantzig-FulkersonJohnson cutting-plane method for solving the traveling salesman problem, written by Martin, used subtour inequa...

Motivated by optimization problems in sensor coverage, we formulate and study the Minimum-Area Spanning Tree (mast) problem: Given a set P of n points in the plane, find a spannin...
In this paper we revisit the idea of relating the genetic code to a Gray code. This idea was originally fostered by Rosemary Swanson as a “unifying concept for the amino acid co...

Probabilistic models have recently been utilized for the optimization of large combinatorial search problems. However, complex probabilistic models that attempt to capture interpa...
Ant colony optimization (ACO) is a well known metaheuristic. In the literature it has been used for tackling many optimization problems. Often, ACO is hybridized with a local sear...
