Given a graph, the minimum dominating set (MinDS) problem is to identify a smallest set $D$ of vertices such that every vertex not in $D$ is adjacent to at least one vertex in $D$. The MinDS problem is a classic $\mathcal{NP}$-hard problem…
Using connected dominating set (CDS) to serve as a virtual backbone in a wireless networks can save energy and reduce interference. Since nodes may fail due to accidental damage or energy depletion, it is desirable that the virtual backbone…
In the present paper, we propose an efficient local search for the minimum independent dominating set problem. We consider a local search that uses $k$-swap as the neighborhood operation. Given a feasible solution $S$, it is the operation…
Region search is widely used for object localization. Typically, the region search methods project the score of a classifier into an image plane, and then search the region with the maximal score. The recently proposed region search…
The Minimum Weighted Feedback Arc Set (MWFAS) problem is closely related to the task of deriving a global ranking from pairwise comparisons. Recent work by He et al. (ICML 2022) advanced the state of the art on ranking benchmarks using…

Failure-Directed Search (FDS) is a significant complete generic search algorithm used in Constraint Programming (CP) to efficiently explore the search space, proven particularly effective on scheduling problems. This paper analyzes FDS's…
Feature selection is a crucial step in machine learning, especially for high-dimensional datasets, where irrelevant and redundant features can degrade model performance and increase computational costs. This paper proposes a novel…
With the recent development of technology, wireless sensor networks (WSN) are becoming an important part of many applications. Knowing the exact location of each sensor in the network is very important issue. Therefore, the localization…
The Divide and Distribute Fixed Weights algorithm (ddfw) is a dynamic local search SAT-solving algorithm that transfers weight from satisfied to falsified clauses in local minima. ddfw is remarkably effective on several hard combinatorial…
Determining optimal well placements and controls are two important tasks in oil field development. These problems are computationally expensive, nonconvex, and contain multiple optima. The practical solution of these problems require…
The problem of finding a minimum-weight connected dominating set (CDS) of a given undirected graph has been studied actively, motivated by operations of wireless ad hoc networks. In this paper, we formulate a new stochastic variant of the…
Multidimensional scaling (MDS) is a popular dimensionality reduction techniques that has been widely used for network visualization and cooperative localization. However, the traditional stress minimization formulation of MDS necessitates…
The Set-Union Knapsack Problem (SUKP) and Budgeted Maximum Coverage Problem (BMCP) are two closely related variant problems of the popular knapsack problem. Given a set of weighted elements and a set of items with nonnegative values, where…
Combinatorial optimization problems are encountered in many practical contexts such as logistics and production, but exact solutions are particularly difficult to find and usually NP-hard for considerable problem sizes. To compute…
In this paper, we introduce DLS-MC, a new stochastic local search algorithm for the maximum clique problem. DLS-MC alternates between phases of iterative improvement, during which suitable vertices are added to the current clique, and…
The maximum vertex weight clique problem (MVWCP) is an important generalization of the maximum clique problem (MCP) that has a wide range of real-world applications. In situations where rigorous guarantees regarding the optimality of…
In neural architecture search (NAS), differentiable architecture search (DARTS) has recently attracted much attention due to its high efficiency. It defines an over-parameterized network with mixed edges, each of which represents all…
Nodes localization in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) has arisen as a very challenging problem in the research community. Most of the applications for WSN are not useful without a priori known nodes positions. One solution to the problem is…
In this paper, we study two classic optimization problems: minimum geometric dominating set and set cover. In the dominating-set problem, for a given set of objects in {the} plane as input, the objective is to choose a minimum number of…
