Biogeography-based optimization (BBO) is a relatively new bioinspired heuristic for global optimization based on the mathematical models of biogeography. By investigating the applicability and performance of BBO for integer programming, we find that the original BBO algorithm does not perform well on a set of benchmark…

An intensive line of research on fixed parameter tractability of integer programming is focused on exploiting the relation between the sparsity of a constraint matrix A and the norm of the elements of its Graver basis. In particular, integer programming is fixed parameter tractable when parameterized by the primal…

Cuckoo search algorithm is a promising metaheuristic population based method. It has been applied to solve many real life problems. In this paper, we propose a new cuckoo search algorithm by combining the cuckoo search algorithm with the Nelder-Mead method in order to solve the integer and minimax optimization…

Background Boolean network (BN) is a mathematical model for genetic network and control of genetic networks has become an important issue owing to their potential application in the field of drug discovery and treatment of intractable diseases. Early researches have focused primarily on the analysis of attractor…

For a set X of integer points in a polyhedron, the smallest number of facets of any polyhedron whose set of integer points coincides with X is called the relaxation complexity ${{\,\mathrm{rc}\,}}X$. This parameter, introduced by Kaibel & Weltge (2015), captures the complexity of linear descriptions of X without using…

In this paper, we report perhaps a first of its kind application of management science in the Ethiopian hotel industry. Avanti Blue Nile Hotels, a newly established five star hotel in Bahir Dar, is the company for which we developed an integer programming model that determines an optimal weekly shift schedule for the…

'Alejandro A. Schäffer'] Integer linear programs (ILPs) and mixed integer programs (MIPs) often have multiple distinct optimal solutions, yet the widely used Gurobi optimization solver returns certain solutions at disproportionately high frequencies. This behavior is disadvantageous, as, in fields such as biomedicine…

Here we study linear programming applied to the random K-SAT problem, a fundamental problem in computational complexity. The K-SAT problem is to decide whether a Boolean formula with N variables and structured as a conjunction of M clauses, each being a disjunction of K variables or their negations is satisfiable or…

Background The alignment of protein-protein interaction networks was recently formulated as an integer quadratic programming problem, along with a linearization that can be solved by integer linear programming software tools. However, the resulting integer linear program has a huge number of variables and constraints…

The discrete -neighbor -center problem (d--CP) is an emerging variant of the classical -center problem which recently got attention in literature. In this problem, we are given a discrete set of points and we need to locate facilities on these points in such a way that the maximum distance between each point where no…

The size of the largest binary single deletion code has been unknown for more than 50 years. It is known that Varshamov-Tenengolts (VT) code is an optimum single deletion code for block length $n\leq10$; however, only a few upper bounds of the size of single deletion code are proposed for larger n. We provide improved…

'Efrén Mezura-Montes' 'Eduardo Vega-Alvarado' 'María Bárbara Calva-Yañez' 'Thomas Stützle'] Mixed integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) addresses optimization problems that involve continuous and discrete/integer decision variables, as well as nonlinear functions. These problems often exhibit multiple discontinuous…

Mixed-Integer Linear Programming (MILP) plays an important role across a range of scientific disciplines and within areas of strategic importance to society. The MILP problems, however, suffer from combinatorial complexity. Because of integer decision variables, as the problem size increases, the number of possible…

In edge computing, suppressing data size is a challenge for machine learning models that perform complex tasks such as autonomous driving, in which computational resources (speed, memory size and power) are limited. Efficient lossy compression of matrix data has been introduced by decomposing it into the product of an…

The telecommunications problem of assigning calls with point to point demand to a capacitated network where each call can be assigned to at most one path has been called the Bandwidth-Packing Problem. For a given network, with specified arc costs and arc capacities, one wishes to route calls (defined by a starting and…

We developed mixed integer programming (MIP) models and hybrid genetic-local search algorithms for the scheduling problem of unrelated parallel machines with job sequence and machine-dependent setup times and with job splitting property. The first contribution of this paper is to introduce novel algorithms which make…
