We consider optimization problems that can be formulated as minimizing the cost of a feasible solution wT x over an arbitrary combinatorial feasible set F {0, 1}n . For these pro...
It has been a challenging open problem whether there is a polynomial time approximation algorithm for the Vertex Cover problem whose approximation ratio is bounded by a constant l...
: We consider a variety of vehicle routing problems. The input to a problem consists of a graph G = (N, E) and edge lengths l(e) e E. Customers located at the vertices have to be ...
We study the NP-hard problem of labeling points with maximum-radius circle pairs: given n point sites in the plane, find a placement for 2n interior-disjoint uniform circles, such...
This paper deals with the maximum-weight 2-path packing problem (M2PP), which is the problem of computing a set of vertex-disjoint paths of length 2 in a given edge-weighted compl...
