Integrating Conflict Driven Clause Learning to Local Search

open access: yes, 2009
This article introduces SatHyS (SAT HYbrid Solver), a novel hybrid approach for propositional satisfiability. It combines local search and conflict driven clause learning (CDCL) scheme. Each time the local search part reaches a local minimum, the CDCL is

Tabu-KM: A Hybrid Clustering Algorithm Based on Tabu Search Approach

open access: yesInternational Journal of Industrial Engineering and Production Research, 2010
The clustering problem under the criterion of minimum sum of squares is a non-convex and non-linear program, which possesses many locally optimal values, resulting that its solution often falls into these trap and therefore cannot converge to global ...
