The prime objective of a Channel Assignment Problem (CAP) is to assign appropriate number of required channels to each cell in a way to achieve both efficient frequency spectrum utilization and minimization of interference ...

This work presents column generation methods for two important assignment problems: the Generalized Assignment Problem (GAP) and the problem of assigning calls to switches in cellular mobile networks (PAGS) G4P is one of ...

This article uses integer linear programming to address the referee assignment problem in the First Division of the Chilean professional football league. The proposed approach considers balance in the number of matches ...

During its life cycle, the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum is found intracellular to human erythrocytes, where its survival and ability to multiply critically depends on the control of the environment redox state. ...

In this article I discuss the misfits problem, a practical issue that arises in random treatment assignment whenever observations can’t be neatly distributed among treatments. I also introduce the randtreat command, which ...

Assigning cells to switches in a cellular mobile network is known as an NP-hard optimization problem. This means that the alternative for the solution of this type of problem is the use of heuristic methods, because they ...
