The Target Set Selection problem proposed by Kempe, Kleinberg, and Tardos, gives a nice clean combinatorial formulation for many problems arising in economy, sociology, and medicin...

Multicut is a fundamental network communication and connectivity problem. It is defined as: given an undirected graph and a collection of pairs of terminal vertices, find a minimu...
In this paper we consider the weighted, capacitated vertex cover problem with hard capacities (capVC). Here, we are given an undirected graph G = (V, E), non-negative vertex weigh...
Let G = (V, E) be an undirected graph, with three numbers d0(e) ≥ d1(e) ≥ d2(e) ≥ 0 for each edge e ∈ E. A solution is a subset U ⊆ V and di(e) represents the cost contr...
Abstract. Given a simple n-sided polygon in the plane with a boundary partitioned into subchains some of which are convex and colored, we consider the following problem: Which is t...
