Clustering is an important problem and has numerous applications. In this paper we consider an important clustering problem, called the k-center problem. We are given a discrete p...
In the 0-extension problem, we are given a weighted graph with some nodes marked as terminals and a semimetric on the set of terminals. Our goal is to assign the rest of the nodes ...
We investigate the problem of finding two nonempty disjoint subsets of a set of n positive integers, with the objective that the sums of the numbers in the two subsets be as close ...
This paper considers problems of the following type: given an edgeweighted k-colored input graph with maximum color class size c, find a minimum or maximum c-way cut such that eac...
The element connectivity problem falls in the category of survivable network design problems { it is intermediate to the versions that ask for edge-disjoint and vertex-disjoint pa...
