When addressing the challenge of complex multi-objective optimization problems, particularly those with non-convex and non-uniform Pareto fronts, Decomposition-based Multi-Objective Evolutionary Algorithms (MOEADs) often converge to local…
We design new parallel algorithms for clustering in high-dimensional Euclidean spaces. These algorithms run in the Massively Parallel Computation (MPC) model, and are fully scalable, meaning that the local memory in each machine may be…
We study the Generalized Multiple Strip Packing Problem (GMSPP) with heterogeneous per-unit-area costs, in which rectangular items of fixed dimensions must be packed without overlap into multiple open-ended strips of different widths, each…
This paper introduces a new step to the Direct Search Method (DSM) to strengthen its convergence analysis. By design, this so-called covering step may ensure that for all refined points of the sequence of incumbent solutions generated by…
Local search is a fundamental optimization technique that is both widely used in practice and deeply studied in theory, yet its computational complexity remains poorly understood. The traditional frameworks, PLS and the standard algorithm…
LP-type problems such as the Minimum Enclosing Ball (MEB), Linear Support Vector Machine (SVM), Linear Programming (LP), and Semidefinite Programming (SDP) are fundamental combinatorial optimization problems, with many important…
In Bayesian Network Structure Learning (BNSL), one is given a variable set and parent scores for each variable and aims to compute a DAG, called Bayesian network, that maximizes the sum of parent scores, possibly under some structural…
Light emitting diode (LED) based visible light positioning (VLP) networks can provide accurate location information in indoor environments. In this manuscript, we propose to employ cooperative localization for visible light networks by…
Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have advanced VQA and now support Vision-DeepResearch systems that use search engines for complex visual-textual fact-finding. However, evaluating these visual and textual search abilities is still…
Discovering the low-energy conformations of a molecule is of great interest to computational chemists, with applications in {\em in silico} materials design and drug discovery. In this paper, we propose a variable neighbourhood search…
In this paper we consider the classical maximum set packing problem where set cardinality is upper bounded by $k$. We show how to design a variant of a polynomial-time local search algorithm with performance guarantee $(k+2)/3$. This local…
In this paper, a compressed sensing (CS) based framework of multi-target cooperative visible light positioning (VLP) is formulated to realize simultaneous highaccuracy localization of multiple targets. The light emitting diodes (LEDs)…
Solving large-scale CVRP (LSCVRP) with hundreds to thousands of nodes remains difficult for even state-of-the-art solvers. Divide-and-conquer can scale by decomposing the instance into size-reduced subproblems, but designing decomposition…
The Set-union Knapsack Problem (SUKP) is a generalization of the popular 0-1 knapsack problem. Given a set of weighted elements and a set of items with profits where each item is composed of a subset of elements, the SUKP involves packing a…
We present a new interior-point potential-reduction algorithm for solving monotone linear complementarity problems (LCPs) that have a particular special structure: their matrix $M\in{\mathbb R}^{n\times n}$ can be decomposed as $M=\Phi U +…
Pareto Local Search (PLS) is a basic building block in many metaheuristics for Multiobjective Combinatorial Optimization Problem (MCOP). In this paper, an enhanced PLS variant called Parallel Pareto Local Search based on Decomposition…
With the advent of powerful quantum computers, the quest for more efficient quantum algorithms becomes crucial in attaining quantum supremacy over classical counterparts in the noisy intermediate-scale quantum era. While Grover's search…
Maximum Common induced Subgraph (MCS) is an important NP-hard problem with wide real-world applications. Branch-and-Bound (BnB) is the basis of a class of efficient algorithms for MCS, consisting in successively selecting vertices to match…
Large-scale nonconvex and nonsmooth problems have attracted considerable attention in the fields of compress sensing, big data optimization and machine learning. Exploring effective methods is still the main challenge of today's research.…
Block-coordinate descent (BCD) is a popular framework for large-scale regularized optimization problems with block-separable structure. Existing methods have several limitations. They often assume that subproblems can be solved exactly at…
