The metric 2-clustering problem is de ned as follows: given a metric (X;d), partition X into two sets S1 and S2 in order to minimize the value of X i X fu;vg Si d(u;v) In this pap...
Discrete gate sizing is a critical optimization in VLSI circuit design. Given a set of available gate sizes, discrete gate sizing problem asks to assign a size to each gate such th...
We consider the problem of scheduling a set of n jobs on m identical parallel machines so as to minimize the weighted sum of job completion times. This problem is NP-hard in the s...
We combine the work of Garg and K¨onemann, and Fleischer with ideas from dynamic graph algorithms to obtain faster (1 − ε)-approximation schemes for various versions of the mu...
This paper studies the two-machine permutation flowshop scheduling problem with anticipatory setup times and an availability constraint imposed only on the first machine. The obje...
