The marine predator algorithm is a new nature-inspired metaheuristic algorithm that mimics
biological interaction between marine predators and prey. It has been also stated from the …

In this article, we evaluate the challenges and best practices associated with the Markov
bases approach to sampling from conditional distributions. We provide insights and …

Arising from structural graph theory, treewidth has become a focus of study in fixed-
parameter tractable algorithms. Many NP-hard problems are known to be solvable in O (n· 2 …

We introduce a general problem about bribery in voting systems. In the R-Multi-Bribery
problem, the goal is to bribe a set of voters at minimum cost such that a desired candidate is …

We consider integer and linear programming problems for which the linear constraints
exhibit a (recursive) block-structure: The problem decomposes into independent and …

With an increase in the utilization of appliances, meeting the energy demand of consumers
by traditional power grids is an important issue. The success of Demand Response (DR) …

We study an important case of integer linear programs (ILPs) of the form \max{c^Tx\vert\
mathcalAx=b,l≦x≦u,\,x∈Z^nt\} with nt variables and lower and upper bounds …

We consider the standard ILP Feasibility problem: given an integer linear program of the
form {A x= b, x⩾ 0}, where A is an integer matrix with k rows and ℓ columns, x is a vector of ℓ …

We consider the problem of solving integer programs of the form $\min\{\, c^\intercal
x\\colon\Ax= b, x\geq 0\} $, where $ A $ is a multistage stochastic matrix in the following …

Powerful results from the theory of integer programming have recently led to substantial
advances in parameterized complexity. However, our perception is that, except for Lenstra's …
