A (Somewhat) New Solution to the Variable Binding Problem
To perform automatic, unconscious inference, the human brain must solve the "binding problem" by correctly grouping properties with objects. Temporal binding models like...

Combining Exact and Heuristic Approaches for the Capacitated Fixed-Charge Network Flow Problem
We develop a solution approach for the fixed charge network flow problem (FCNF) that produces provably high-quality solutions quickly. The solution approach combines mathematica...

Metropolis Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm with Mutation Operator for Global Optimization Problems
When a local optimal solution is reached with classical Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), all particles in the swarm gather around it, and escaping from this local optima becomes...

NP-hardness of Deciding Convexity of Quartic Polynomials and Related Problems
We show that unless P=NP, there exists no polynomial time (or even pseudo-polynomial time) algorithm that can decide whether a multivariate polynomial of degree four (or higher ev...
