Lower Bounds for Smith's Rule in Stochastic Machine Scheduling
We consider the problem to minimize the weighted sum of completion times in nonpreemptive parallel machine scheduling. In a landmark paper from 1986, Kawaguchi and Kyan [5] showed ...

Towards Polynomial Lower Bounds for Dynamic Problems
We consider a number of dynamic problems with no known poly-logarithmic upper bounds, and show that they require n(1) time per operation, unless 3SUM has strongly subquadratic alg...

Lower bounds and heuristics for the Windy Rural Postman Problem
In this paper we present several heuristic algorithms and a cutting-plane algorithm for the Windy Rural Postman Problem. This problem contains a big number of important Arc Routin...

Paths of Bounded Length and Their Cuts: Parameterized Complexity and Algorithms
We study the parameterized complexity of two families of problems: the bounded length disjoint paths problem and the bounded length cut problem. From Menger’s theorem both proble...

A Tight Lower Bound for the Steiner Point Removal Problem on Trees
Gupta (SODA'01) considered the Steiner Point Removal (SPR) problem on trees. Given an edge-weighted tree T and a subset S of vertices called terminals in the tree, find an edg...
