On the use of biased-randomized algorithms for solving non-smooth optimization problems [PDF]
Soft constraints are quite common in real-life applications. For example, in freight transportation, the fleet size can be enlarged by outsourcing part of the distribution service and some deliveries to customers can be postponed as well; in inventory ...
