Proteins are important molecules that are widely studied in biology. Since their three-dimensional conformations can give clues about their function, an optimal methodology for the identification of such conformations has been researched for many years. Experiments of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance...

We consider the problem of finding a fundamental cycle basis with minimum total cost in an undirected graph. This problem is NP-hard and has several interesting applications. Since fundamental cycle bases correspond to spanning trees, we propose a local search algorithm, a tabu search and...

In this paper we present branch-and-bound (B& B) strategies for two-stage stochastic integer network design-based models with integrality constraints in the first-stage variables. These strategies are used within L-shaped decomposition-based B& B framework. We propose a valid inequality in order...
