An Exact Algorithm for Minimum Vertex Cover Problem
In this paper, we propose a branch-and-bound algorithm to solve exactly the minimum vertex cover (MVC) problem. Since a tight lower bound for MVC has a significant influence on the efficiency of a branch-and-bound algorithm, we define two novel lower ...

Anomalies in parallel branch-and-bound algorithms [PDF]
We consider the effects of parallelizing branch-and-bound algorithms by expanding several live nodes simultaneously. It is shown that it is quite possible for a parallel branch-and-bound algorithm using n 2 processors to take more time than one using n 1 processors, even though n ...

Bound-intersection detection for multiple-symbol differential unitary space-time modulation [PDF]
This paper considers multiple-symbol differential detection (MSD) of differential unitary space-time modulation (DUSTM) over multiple-antenna systems. We derive a novel exact maximum-likelihood (ML) detector, called the bound-intersection detector (BID),

Scheduling of Software Test to Minimize the Total Completion Time
This paper investigates a single-machine scheduling problem of a software test with shared common setup operations. Each job has a corresponding set of setup operations, and the job cannot be executed unless its setups are completed. If two jobs have the
