Performance of parallel branch-and-bound algorithms

IEEE Transactions on Computers, 1985
We study the performance of parallel best-bound-first branch-and-bound algorithms, in which several nodes with least lower bounds are expanded simultaneously. It is well known that anomalies may occur in the execution of a parallel branch-and-bound algorithm.

A Branch and Bound Clustering Algorithm

IEEE Transactions on Computers, 1975
The problem of clustering N objects into M classes may be viewed as a combinatorial optimization algorithm. In the literature on clustering, iterative hill-climbing techniques are used to find a locally optimum classification. In this paper, we develop a clustering algorithm based on the branch and bound method of combinatorial optimization.

Parallel branch-and-bound algorithms

Future Generation Computer Systems, 1989
Abstract In this paper a parallel algorithm for branch-and-bound problems is sketched. It is designed to run on MIMD machines and exploits coarse grain parallelism. Due to the irregular and unpredictable behavior of branch-and-bound algorithms, it is hard to obtain a good load-balance.

A Branch-and-Bound Algorithm for Pagination

Operations Research, 1975
The paper presents an algorithm for partitioning the nodes of a weighted graph in order to minimize the interset weights. The algorithm is patterned after the branch-and-probabilistic-bound procedures of Graves and Whinston. Final partitions or solutions are characterized by probability statements like: “the probability is greater than α that a ...
