Discrete Particle Swarm Optimization for the minimum labelling Steiner tree problem [PDF]
Particle Swarm Optimization is an evolutionary method inspired by the social behaviour of individuals inside swarms in nature. Solutions of the problem are modelled as members of the swarm which fly in the solution space.

Local and global lifted cover inequalities for the multidimensional knapsack problem [PDF]
The 0-1 Multidimensional Knapsack Problem (0-1 MKP) is a well-known (and strongly NP-hard) combinatorial optimization problem with many applications. Up to now, the majority of upper bounding techniques for the 0-1 MKP have been based on Lagrangian or ...

The Minmax Multidimensional Knapsack Problem with Application to a Chance-Constrained Problem [PDF]
In this paper we present a new combinatorial problem, called minmax multidimensional knapsack problem (MKP), motivated by a military logistics problem. The logistics problem is a two-period, two-level, chanced-constrained problem with recourse.

Multi-Objective ABC-NM Algorithm for Multi-Dimensional Combinatorial Optimization Problem
This article addresses the problem of converting a single-objective combinatorial problem into a multi-objective one using the Pareto front approach. Although existing algorithms can identify the optimal solution in a multi-objective space, they fail to ...
