Bidimensionality and Kernels
Bidimensionality theory appears to be a powerful framework in the development of meta-algorithmic techniques. It was introduced by Demaine et al. [J. ACM 2005 ] as a tool to obtai...

Beating the Random Ordering is Hard: Inapproximability of Maximum Acyclic Subgraph
We prove that approximating the Max Acyclic Subgraph problem within a factor better than 1/2 is Unique-Games hard. Specifically, for every constant ε > 0 the following holds:...

A study on constrained MA using GA and SQP: Analytical vs. finite-difference gradients
— Many deterministic algorithms in the context of constrained optimization require the first-order derivatives, or the gradient vectors, of the objective and constraint function...

MaxMin allocation via degree lower-bounded arborescences
We consider the problem of MaxMin allocation of indivisible goods. There are m items to be distributed among n players. Each player i has a nonnegative valuation pij for an item j...
