Motivated by optimization problems in sensor coverage, we formulate and study the Minimum-Area Spanning Tree (mast) problem: Given a set P of n points in the plane, find a spannin...
Temporal reasoning is an important task in many areas of computer science including planning, scheduling, temporal databases and instruction optimisation for compilers. Given a kno...

We study integrality gaps and approximability of two closely related problems on directed graphs. Given a set V of n nodes in an underlying asymmetric metric and two specified nod...

We study the following problem: Given a tree G and a finite set of trees H, find a subset O of the edges of G such that G − O does not contain a subtree isomorphic to a tree f...
In the multilevel generalized assignment problem (MGAP) agents can perform tasks at more than one efficiency level. Important manufacturing problems, such as lot sizing, can be ea...
