A General Approximation Technique for Constrained Forest Problems
We present a general approximation technique for a large class of graph problems. Our technique mostly applies to problems of covering, at minimum cost, the vertices of a graph wit...

Greedy-type resistance of combinatorial problems
This paper gives a sufficient condition for a combinatorial problem to be greedy-type-resistant, i.e. such that, on some instances of the problem, any greedy-type algorithm will o...

Using multiple offspring sampling to guide genetic algorithms to solve permutation problems
The correct choice of an evolutionary algorithm, a genetic representation for the problem being solved (as well as their associated variation operators) and the appropriate values...

Comparison of similarity measures for the multi-objective vehicle routing problem with time windows
The Vehicle Routing Problem can be seen as a fusion of two well known combinatorial problems, the Travelling Salesman Problem and Bin Packing Problem. It has several variants, the...

Lower Bounds for Maximum Parsimony with Gene Order Data
Abstract. In this paper, we study lower bound techniques for branchand-bound algorithms for maximum parsimony, with a focus on gene order data. We give a simple O(n3 ) time dynamic...
