Realizing a Global Hyperpolyhedron Constraint via LP Techniques
Combination of AI/OR methods is gaining a great deal of attention because many combinatorial problems especially in planning and scheduling areas can be solved by means of combined...

The Design of ESSENCE: A Constraint Language for Specifying Combinatorial Problems
ESSENCE is a new formal language for specifying combinatorial problems in a manner similar to natural rigorous specifications that use a mixture of natural language and discrete ...

An Improved Time-Sensitive Metaheuristic Framework for Combinatorial Optimization
We introduce a metaheuristic framework for combinatorial optimization. Our framework is similar to others (e.g. [1]) in that it is modular enough that important components can be i...

Generalized benchmark generation for dynamic combinatorial problems
Several general purpose benchmark generators are now available in the literature. They are convenient tools in dynamic continuous optimization as they can produce test instances w...

NP by Means of Lifts and Shadows
We show that every NP problem is polynomially equivalent to a simple combinatorial problem: the membership problem for a special class of digraphs. These classes are defined by me...

Efficient SAT Techniques for Absolute Encoding of Permutation Problems: Application to Hamiltonian Cycles
We study novel approaches for solving of hard combinatorial problems by translation to Boolean Satisfiability (SAT). Our focus is on combinatorial problems that can be represented...

Efficient Search of Faces from Complex Line Drawings
Single 2D line drawing is a straightforward method to illustrate 3D objects. The faces of an object depicted by a line drawing give very useful information for the reconstruction ...
