We present a fast (∼ O (N3)) algorithm which calculates groundstates of Ising spin glasses approximately. It works by randomly selecting clusters of spins which exhibit no frustrations. The spins which were not selected, contribute to the local fields of the selected spins. For the...

Given a networkN=(V,A,c), a sources εV, a. sinkt εV and somes —t cuts and suppose each element of the capacity vectorc can be changed with a cost proportional to the changes, the inverse problem of minimum cuts we study here is to change the original capacities with the least total cost...

An inverse optimization problem is defined as follows. Let S denote the set of feasible solutions of an optimization problem P, let c be a specified cost (capacity) vector, and x0 ∈ S. We want to perturb the cost (capacity) vector c to d so that x0 is an optimal solution of P with respect to...

In project scheduling, a set of precedence-constrained jobs has to be scheduled so as to minimize a given objective. In resource-constrained project scheduling, the jobs additionally compete for scarce resources. Due to its universality, the latter problem has a variety of applications in...
