We give an on-line deterministic algorithm for the weighted bipartite matching problem that achieves a competitive ratio of (2n − 1) in any metric space (where n is the number o...

We investigate a variant of on-line edge-coloring in which there is a fixed number of colors availableandtheaimistocolorasmanyedgesaspossible.Weproveupperandlowerboundsontheperform...
We present a deterministic way of assigning small (log bit) weights to the edges of a bipartite planar graph so that the minimum weight perfect matching becomes unique. The isolati...
We analyze the performance of evolutionary algorithms on various matroid optimization problems that encompass a vast number of efficiently solvable as well as NP-hard combinatoria...
