On Approximating Optimal Weighted Lobbying, and Frequency of Correctness Versus Average-Case Polynomial Time
We investigate issues regarding two hard problems related to voting, the optimal weighted lobbying problem and the winner problem for Dodgson elections. Regarding the former, Chris...

On Tractable Cases of Target Set Selection
We study the NP-complete TARGET SET SELECTION (TSS) problem occurring in social network analysis. Complementing results on its approximability and extending results for its restric...

Epsilon nets and union complexity
We consider the following combinatorial problem: given a set of n objects (for example, disks in the plane, triangles), and an integer L ≥ 1, what is the size of the smallest su...

Efficient point coverage in wireless sensor networks
We study minimum-cost sensor placement on a bounded 3D sensing field, R, which comprises a number of discrete points that may or may not be grid points. Suppose we have types of se...

Greedy Heuristics and an Evolutionary Algorithm for the Bounded-Diameter Minimum Spanning Tree Problem
Given a connected, weighted, undirected graph G and a bound D, the bounded-diameter minimum spanning tree problem seeks a spanning tree on G of lowest weight in which no path betw...
