Abstract. The maximum diversity problem (MDP) consists of identifying optimally diverse subsets of elements from some larger collection. The selection of elements is based on the d...

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...
A homogeneous set is a non-trivial, proper subset of a graph’s vertices such that all its elements present exactly the same outer neighborhood. Given two graphs, G1(V, E1), G2(V,...

Abstract. We consider how to maintain the topological order of a directed acyclic graph (DAG) in the presence of edge insertions and deletions. We present a new algorithm and, alth...
This paper describes a GRASP with path-relinking heuristic for the quadratic assignment problem. GRASP is a multi-start procedure, where different points in the search space are p...

Clustering can be used to identify groups of similar solutions in Multimodal Optimisation. However, a poor clustering quality reduces the benefit of this application. The vast maj...
Abstract. Bit-parallelism permits executing several operations simultaneously over a set of bits or numbers stored in a single computer word. This technique permits searching for t...
