In this paper, we propose a new branch and bound algorithm for the solution of large scale separable concave programming problems. The largest distance bisection (LDB) technique is proposed to divide ...

An example of the quadratic assignment problem (QAP) is the facility location problem, in which n facilities are assigned, at minimum cost, to n sites. Between each pair of facilities, there is a ...

The ubiquitous field-programmable gate array (FPGA) is finding use as a software accelerator in many applications, including the communications, image processing, biomedical, and scientific computing ...
