Various algorithms have been developed and applied to structural optimization, in which cross-sectional areas of structure members are assumed to be continuous. In most cases of p...
Abstract. This paper proposes to apply the branch and bound principle from combinatorial optimization to the Dissimilarity Self-Organizing Map (DSOM), a variant of the SOM that can...
Our motivation for this work is the remarkable discovery that many large-scale real-world graphs ranging from Internet and World Wide Web to social and biological networks exhibit ...
Abstract—Hybrid methods are very popular for solving problems from combinatorial optimization. In contrast to this the theoretical understanding of the interplay of different opt...

A suitable assignment of agents to handle the workload at a call center is not easy to fulfill because it requires a combinatorial optimization with large solution space and the n...
Recently, it has been proven that evolutionary algorithms produce good results for a wide range of combinatorial optimization problems. Some of the considered problems are tackled...
