Abstract. We consider the offline and online versions of a bin packing problem called bin packing with conflicts. Given a set of items V = {1, 2, . . . , n} with sizes s1, s2 . . ....
In this paper we study desynchronization, a closelyrelated primitive to graph coloring. A valid graph coloring is an assignment of colors to nodes such that no node’s color is t...
: We present an improved upper bound of O(d1+ 1 m−1 ) for the (2, F)-subgraph chromatic number χ2,F (G) of any graph G of maximum degree d. Here, m denotes the minimum number of...
We introduce Multi-Trials, a new technique for symmetry breaking for distributed algorithms and apply it to various problems in general graphs. For instance, we present three rand...
We study the two-dimensional version of the bin packing problem with conflicts. We are given a set of (two-dimensional) squares V = {1, 2, . . . , n} with sides s1, s2 . . . , sn ...
