Many metaheuristics have difficulty exploring their search space comprehensively. Exploration time and efficiency are highly dependent on the size and the ruggedness of the search...
Clock-tuning has been classified as important but tough tasks due to the non-convex nature caused by the skew requirements. As a result, all existing mathematical programming appr...
We consider the dictionary problem in external memory and improve the update time of the wellknown buffer tree by roughly a logarithmic factor. For any λ ≥ max{lg lg n, logM/B(...
Ordering a set of items so as to minimize the sum of distances between consecutive elements is a fundamental optimization problem occurring in many settings. While it is NP-hard i...
—The problem of reconstructing the duplication history of a set of tandemly repeated sequences was first introduced by Fitch [4]. Many recent studies deal with this problem, show...
