Karp and Zhang developed a general randomized parallel algorithm for solving branch and bound problems. They showed that with high probability their algorithm attained optimal spe...
We give an on-line deterministic algorithm for the weighted bipartite matching problem that achieves a competitive ratio of (2n − 1) in any metric space (where n is the number o...

The survey propagation (SP) algorithm has been shown to work well on large instances of the random 3-SAT problem near its phase transition. It was shown that SP estimates marginal...
In this paper, we propose a multilevel cooperative coevolution (MLCC) framework for large scale optimization problems. The motivation is to improve our previous work on grouping ba...
We introduce the following consensus estimate problem. Several processors hold private and possibly different lower bounds on a value. The processors do not communicate with each ...
