Quadratic Programming (QP) is the well-studied problem of maximizing over {−1, 1} values the quadratic form i=j aijxixj. QP captures many known combinatorial optimization proble...
In this paper we propose a utility model that accounts for both sales and branding advertisers. We first study the computational complexity of optimization problems related to bo...
A cycle cover of a graph is a spanning subgraph each node of which is part of exactly one simple cycle. A k-cycle cover is a cycle cover where each cycle has length at least k. Gi...
We address the issue of inapproximability of the wavelength assignment problem in wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) optical networks. We prove that in an n-node WDM optical ne...
Let G be an embedded planar graph whose edges may be curves. The detour between two points, p and q (on edges or vertices) of G, is the ratio between the shortest path in G between...
