## Abstract This paper presents a parallel branchโandโbound algorithm which is applicable to a loosely coupled multiprocessor with nonhierarchical interconnection network such as torus or hypercube. This algorithm is asynchronous and processing elements (PEs) start evaluation of nodes without being

The tree knapsack problem (TKP) is a generalized 0-1 knapsack problem where all the items (nodes) are subjected to a partial ordering represented by a rooted tree. If a node is selected to be packed into the knapsack, then all the items on the path from the selected node to the root must also be pac
In this paper we discuss the problem of packing a set of small rectangles (pieces) in an enclosing ยฎnal rectangle. We present ยฎrst a best-ยฎrst branch-and-bound exact algorithm and second a heuristic approach in order to solve exactly and approximately this problem. The performances of the proposed a
