We study the quality of LP-based approximation methods for pure combinatorial problems. We found that the quality of the LPrelaxation is a direct function of the underlying constra...
This paper introduces a new evaluation function, called δ, for the Bandwidth Minimization Problem for Graphs (BMPG). Compared with the classical β evaluation function used, our Î...

In this paper, we present an ant system algorithm variant designed to solve the job shop scheduling problem. The proposed approach is based on a recent biological study which showe...
