We study the inapproximability of Vertex Cover and Independent Set on degree d graphs. We prove that: • Vertex Cover is Unique Games-hard to approximate to within a factor 2−(...
The 2-Disjoint Connected Subgraphs problem asks if a given graph has two vertex-disjoint connected subgraphs containing prespecified sets of vertices. We show that this problem is...
We introduce and study the donation center location problem, which has an additional application in network testing and may also be of independent interest as a general graph-theor...
A genome rearrangement scenario describes a series of chromosome fusion, fission, and translocation operations that suffice to rewrite one genome into another. Exact algorithmic ...
Value-based software engineering (VBSE) is an emerging stream of research that addresses the value considerations of software and extends the traditional scope of software engineer...
