Minimizing Average Flow-time : Upper and Lower Bounds
We consider the problem of minimizing average flow time on multiple machines when each job can be assigned only to a specified subset of the machines. This is a special case of sc...

The Parameterized Complexity of the Induced Matching Problem in Planar Graphs
Abstract. Given a graph G and a nonnegative integer k, the NP-complete Induced Matching problem asks for an edge subset M such that M is a matching and no two edges of M are joined...

Computing and Using Lower and Upper Bounds for Action Elimination in MDP Planning
Abstract. We describe a way to improve the performance of MDP planners by modifying them to use lower and upper bounds to eliminate non-optimal actions during their search. First, ...
