3-D Container Packing Heuristics
In this paper, we study the 3-D container packing problem. The problem is divided into box selection, space selection, box orientation and new space generation sub-problems. As a f...

Solving the Vehicle Routing Problem with Stochastic Demands using the Cross-Entropy Method
An alternate formulation of the classical vehicle routing problem with stochastic demands (VRPSD) is considered. We propose a new heuristic method to solve the problem. The algori...

The probabilistic analysis of a greedy satisfiability algorithm
: On input a random 3-CNF formula of clauses-to-variables ratio r3 applies repeatedly the following simple heuristic: Set to True a literal that appears in the maximum number of cl...

Exact and Approximate Sparse Solutions of Underdetermined Linear Equations
Abstract. In this paper, we empirically investigate the NP-hard problem of finding sparsest solutions to linear equation systems, i.e., solutions with as few nonzeros as possible. ...
