As a metaheuristic to obtain solutions of enhanced quality, we formulate the so-called pilot method. It is a tempered greedy method that is to avoid the greedy trap by looking ahead for each possible choice (memorizing the best result). Repeatedly, a so-called master solution is modified, each time

We study two fundamental problems concerning the search for interesting regions in sequences: (i) given a sequence of real numbers of length n and an upper bound U; find a consecutive subsequence of length at most U with the maximum sum and (ii) given a sequence of real numbers of length n and a low
M-convex functions, introduced by Murota (Adv. Math. 124 (1996) 272; Math. Prog. 83 (1998) 313), enjoy various desirable properties as "discrete convex functions." In this paper, we propose two new polynomial-time scaling algorithms for the minimization of an M-convex function. Both algorithms apply
