In the past three decades local search has grown from a simple heuristic idea into a mature field of research in combinatorial optimization. Local search is still the method of choice for NP-hard problems as it provides a robust approach for obtaining high-quality solutions to p…
This application-oriented work is concerned with the design of efficient, robust and reliable methods for modelling multiscale phenomena. To this end, various modern techniques from scattered data modelling are used, such as triangulation methods and radial basis functions. The …
This book offers in-depth coverage of traditional and current topics in sequential algorithms, as well as a solid introduction to the theory of parallel and distributed algorithms. In light of the emergence of modern computing environments such as parallel computers, the Interne…
