This paper describes a hybrid approach to solving large-scale constraint satisfaction and optimization problems. It describes a hybrid algorithm for integer linear programming whic...
Abstract. Since minimum sum-of-squares clustering (MSSC) is an NPhard combinatorial optimization problem, applying techniques from global optimization appears to be promising for r...
The task of finding minimal elements of a partially ordered set is a generalization of the task of finding the global minimum of a real-valued function or of finding Pareto-optimal...
Many combinatorial (optimisation) problems have natural models based on, or including, set variables and set constraints. This was already known to the constraint programming commu...
Abstract. This paper describe the implementation and underlying philosophie of a large scale distributed computation of K-optimal lattice rules. The computation is huge correspondi...
