In 1958, Wagner and Whitin published a seminal paper on the deterministic uncapacitated lot-sizing problem, a fundamental model that is embedded in many practical production plann...
Algorithm portfolios aim to increase the robustness of our ability to solve problems efficiently. While recently proposed algorithm selection methods come ever closer to identifyin...

In this paper we study the constrained consensus problem, i.e. the problem of reaching a common point from the estimates generated by multiple agents that are constrained to lie in...
an abstract optimization problem arising from biomolecular sequence analysis. For a sequence A of pairs (ai, wi) for i = 1, . . . , n and wi > 0, a segment A(i, j) is a consecu...
