This article presents a review of the state of the art of the Wind Farm Design and
Optimization (WFDO) problem. The WFDO problem refers to a set of advanced planning …

Deploying uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs) as aerial base stations (BSs) to assist terrestrial
connectivity has drawn significant attention in recent years. Alongside other UAV types …

The maximum clique problem is a classical problem in combinatorial optimization which
finds important applications in different domains. In this paper we try to give a survey of …

Delineating the tremendous growth in this area, the Handbook of Approximation Algorithms
and Metaheuristics covers fundamental, theoretical topics as well as advanced, practical …

A new Reactive Local Search (\RLS) algorithm is proposed for the solution of the Maximum-
Clique problem.\RLS is based on local search complemented by a feedback (history …

We derive results of the following flavor: If a combinatorial optimization problem can be
formulated via a dynamic program of a certain structure and if the involved cost and …

We study the combinatorial problem which consists, given a system of linear relations, of
finding a maximum feasible subsystem, that is a solution satisfying as many relations as …

Comparing the complexity of different combinatorial optimization problems has been an
extremely active research area during the last 23 years. This has led to the definition of …

We attempt to reconcilethe two distinct views of approximation classes: syntactic and
computational. Syntactic classes such as MAX SNP permit structural results and have …

Combinatorial optimization is a multidisciplinary scientific area, lying in the interface of three
major scientific domains: mathematics, theoretical computer science and management. The …
