Linear Programming Based Approximation Algorithms for Feedback Set Problems in Bipartite Tournaments
We consider the feedback vertex set and feedback arc set problems in bipartite tournaments. We improve on recent results by giving a 2-approximation algorithm for the feedback vert...

New degree bounds for polynomial threshold functions
A real multivariate polynomial p(x1, . . . , xn) is said to sign-represent a Boolean function f : {0, 1}n {-1, 1} if the sign of p(x) equals f(x) for all inputs x {0, 1}n. We gi...

On Using Cutting Planes in Pseudo-Boolean Optimization
Cutting planes are a well-known, widely used, and very effective technique for Integer Linear Programming (ILP). However, cutting plane techniques are seldom used in PseudoBoolean...

Almost optimum placement legalization by minimum cost flow and dynamic programming
VLSI placement tools usually work in two steps: First, the cells that have to be placed are roughly spread out over the chip area ignoring disjointness (global placement). Then, i...

Exact and Approximate Estimation for Maximum Instantaneous Current of CMOS Circuits
We present an integer-linear-programming-based approach for estimating the maximum instantaneous current through the power supply lines for CMOS circuits. It produces the exact so...
