The Shifting Bottleneck (SB) heuristic is among the most successful approximation methods for solving the Job Shop problem. It is essentially a machine based decomposition procedu...
ABSTRACT. We consider equilibrium constrained optimization problems, which have a general formulation that encompasses well-known models such as mathematical programs with equilibr...

The properties of the barrier F(x) = -log(det(x)), defined over the cone of squares of a Euclidean Jordan algebra, are analyzed using pure algebraic techniques. Furthermore, relat...
We propose the use of scatter search with path relinking for the inference of phylogenetic trees. Solutions are here represented as trees whose leaves span the set of species unde...
Artificial neural networks (ANN) have been widely used for both classification and prediction. This paper is focused on the prediction problem in which an unknown function is appr...
Scatter search is an evolutionary method that has been successfully applied to hard optimization problems. The fundamental concepts and principles of the method were first propose...
One of the central results of the paper is the Pontryagin maximum principle [16] which is considered in sufficient form for the linear case of impulsive differential equations. Th...
