Reactive Tabu Search in Unmanned Aerial Reconnaissance Simulations
We apply a Reactive Tabu Search (RTS) heuristic within a discrete-event simulation to solve routing problems for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). Our formulation represents this p...

Word Re-ordering and DP-based Search in Statistical Machine Translation
In this paper, we describe a search procedure for statistical machine translation (MT) based on dynmnic programming (DP). Starting from a DP-based solution to the traveling salesm...

Sub-Graphs of Complete Graph
: In the complete graph K2m+3 for m 2, we study some structures of simple non-isomorphic Hamiltonian sub-graphs of the form H ( 2m+3 , 6m+3) for m 2 . The various structures of t...

An Approximation Scheme for Planar Graph TSP
We consider the special case of the traveling salesman problem TSP in which the distance metric is the shortest-path metric of a planar unweighted graph. We present a polynomial...
