We present a series of results providing evidence that the incentive problem with VCG-based mechanisms is not very severe. Our first result uses average-case analysis to show that ...
The edge dominating set (EDS) and edge cover (EC) problems are classical graph covering problems in which one seeks a minimum cost collection of edges which covers the edges or ve...
In this paper, we introduce the generalized capacitated tree-routing problem (GCTR), which is described as follows. Given a connected graph G = (V, E) with a sink s V and a set M...
Abstract. We propose a BFGS primal-dual interior point method for minimizing a convex function on a convex set defined by equality and inequality constraints. The algorithm generat...

Evolutionary algorithms (EAs) are increasingly being applied to solve real-parameter optimization problems due to their flexibility in handling complexities such as non-convexity,...
