This paper intends to show that the time needed to solve mixed integer programming problems by branch and bound can be roughly predicted early in the solution process. We construc...
Max-SAT-CC is the following optimization problem: Given a formula in CNF and a bound k, find an assignment with at most k variables being set to true that maximizes the number of ...
The Bermond-Thomassen conjecture states that, for any positive integer r, a digraph of minimum out-degree at least 2r -1 contains at least r vertex-disjoint directed cycles. Thoma...
Abstract. We define and study a quantitative generalization of the traditional boolean framework of model-based specification and verification. In our setting, propositions have...
In this paper, we consider smooth words over 2-letter alphabets {a, b}, where a, b are integers having same parity, with 0 < a < b. We show that all are recurrent and that t...
