We introduce a new technique to solve exactly a discrete optimization problem, based on the paradigm of “negative” thinking. The motivation is that when searching the space of...

This paper presents several Arcs-States models that can be applied to numerous vehicle routing problems, one of which is the well-known vehicle routing problem with capacities and...
The problem of discovering arrangements of regions of high occurrence of one or more items of a given alphabet in a sequence, is studied, and two efficient approaches are propose...

In this paper we construct and analyze new non-overlapping domain decomposition preconditioners for the solution of second-order elliptic and parabolic boundary value problems. The...

The Blind Source Separation (BSS) problem is often solved by maximizing objective functions reflecting the statistical dependency between outputs. Since global maximization may be ...
