Abstract. This paper deals with the problem of solving efficiently structured CSPs. It is well known that (hyper)tree-decompositions offer the best approaches from a theoretical v...
Several real world applications involve solving combinatorial optimization problems. Commonly, existing heuristic approaches are designed to address specific difficulties of the u...
Given a set of taxa S and a complete set of quartet topologies Q over S, the problem of determining a phylogeny that satisfies the maximum number of topologies is called the Maxi...
Multimodal optimization algorithms inspired by the immune system are generally characterized by a dynamic control of the population size and by diversity maintenance along the sea...
In the two-dimensional single large object placement problem, we are given a rectangular master surface which has to be cut into a set of smaller rectangular items, with the aim o...
