Feasibility-Based Bounds Tightening via Fixed Points
Abstract. The search tree size of the spatial Branch-and-Bound algorithm for Mixed-Integer Nonlinear Programming depends on many factors, one of which is the width of the variable ...

Fully dynamic distributed search trees can be balanced in O(lg2 N) time
In this paper we consider the dictionary problem in a message-passing distributed environment. We introduce a new version, based on AVL-trees, of distributed search trees, the fir...

Automated Generation of Search Tree Algorithms for Hard Graph Modification Problems
We present a framework for an automated generation of exact search tree algorithms for NP-hard problems. The purpose of our approach is two-fold--rapid development and improved up...

The cost of offline binary search tree algorithms and the complexity of the request sequence
In evaluating the performance of online algorithms for search trees, one wants to compare them to the best offline algorithm available. In this paper we lower bound the cost of an...

Exploiting semidefinite relaxations in constraint programming
Constraint programming uses enumeration and search tree pruning to solve combinatorial optimization problems. In order to speed up this solution process, we investigate the use of...

Trees with exponentially growing costs
We investigate code trees and search trees with cost functions that increase exponentially with the depth in the tree. While corresponding coding theorems have been considered in ...

A Composite Stabilizing Data Structure
Abstract. A data structure is stabilizing if, for any arbitrary (and possibly illegitimate) initial state, any sequence of sufficiently many operations brings the data structure to...

Estimating Search Tree Size
We propose two new online methods for estimating the size of a backtracking search tree. The first method is based on a weighted sample of the branches visited by chronological ba...
