In this paper we present a Lagrange-multiplier formulation of discrete constrained optimization problems, the associated discrete-space first-order necessary and sufficient condit...
Enforced hill-climbing is an effective deterministic hillclimbing technique that deals with local optima using breadth-first search (a process called "basin flooding"). ...
AI planning solves the problem of generating a correct and efficient ordered set of instantiated activities, from a knowledge base of generic actions, which when executed will tra...
Abstract. In this work we introduce a new generalization of the ResourceConstrained Project Scheduling Problem – the Mobile Workforce Scheduling Problem with Multitask-Processes ...
Graph cut algorithms (i.e., min s-t cuts) [3][10][15] are useful in many computer vision applications. In this paper we develop a formulation that allows the addition of side cons...
