We define the k-path tree matroid, and use it to solve network design problems in which the required connectivity is arbitrary for a given pair of nodes, and 1 for the other pairs...
This work presents a formal probabilistic approach for solving optimization problems in design automation. Prediction accuracy is very low especially at high levels of design flo...
We prove strong lower bounds on integrality gaps of Sherali?Adams relaxations for MAX CUT, Vertex Cover, Sparsest Cut and other problems. Our constructions show gaps for Sherali?A...

Another hybrid conjugate gradient algorithm is subject to analysis. The parameter k is computed as a convex combination of HS k (Hestenes-Stiefel) and DY k (Dai-Yuan) algorithms, i...
In the arena of automated negotiations we focus on the principal negotiation protocol in bilateral settings, i.e. the alternatingoffers protocol. In the scientific community it is...
