Given a polyhedron P by a list of inequalities we develop unbiased estimates of the number of vertices and bases of P. The estimates are based on applying tree estimation methods ...
Neighborhood search heuristics like local search and its variants are some of the most popular approaches to solve discrete optimization problems of moderate to large size. Apart ...
In this paper we propose a Monotonic Basin Hopping approach and its population-based variant Population Basin Hopping to solve the problem of packing equal and unequal circles wit...

We propose a numerical method to approximate the solution of second order elliptic problems in nonvariational form. The method is of Galerkin type using conforming finite elements...
