A Set of Examples of Global and Discrete Optimization: Applications of Bayesian Heuristic Approach

This book shows how the Bayesian Approach (BA) improves well­ known heuristics by randomizing and optimizing their parameters. That is the Bayesian Heuristic Approach (BHA). The ten in-depth examples are designed to teach Operations Research using Internet. Each example is a simple representation of some important family of real-life problems. The accompanying software can be run by remote Internet users. The supporting web-sites include software for Java, C++, and other languages. A theore...
