In this paper, we discuss the solution of linear and quadratic eigenvalue complementarity problems (EiCPs) using an enumerative algorithm of the type introduced by Júdice et al. (Optim. Methods Softw. 24:549–586, <CitationRef CitationID="CR1">2009</CitationRef>). Procedures for computing the interval that contains all the eigenvalues...</citationref>

In this paper, we introduce a new method, called the Lattice Projection Method (LPM), for solving eigenvalue complementarity problems. The original problem is reformulated to find the roots of a nonsmooth function. A semismooth Newton type method is then applied to approximate the eigenvalues...

Our paper considers a classic problem in the field of Truss Topology Design, the goal of which is to determine the stiffest truss, under a given load, with a bound on the total volume and discrete requirements in the cross-sectional areas of the bars. To solve this problem we propose a new...

We revisit the problem of computing optimal spline approximations for univariate least-squares splines from a combinatorial optimization perspective. In contrast to most approaches from the literature we aim at globally optimal coefficients as well as a globally optimal placement of a fixed...

In this paper, we combine two types of local search algorithms for global optimization of continuous functions. In the literature, most of the hybrid algorithms are produced by combination of a global optimization algorithm with a local search algorithm and the local search is used to improve...

Where to locate one or several facilities on a network so as to minimize the expected users-closest facility transportation cost is a problem well studied in the OR literature under the name of median problem. In the median problem users are usually identified with nodes of the network. In many...
