Sort can be speeded up on parallel computers by dividing and computing data individually in parallel. Merge sort can be parallelized, however, the conventional algorithm implement...
Set variables are ubiquitous in modeling (soft) constraint problems, but efforts on practical consistency algorithms for Weighted Constraint Satisfaction Problems (WCSPs) have onl...
This research investigates the problem of robust static resource allocation for distributed computing systems operating under imposed Quality of Service (QoS) constraints. Often, ...

The Helly number of a family of sets with empty intersection is the size of its largest inclusionwise minimal sub-family with empty intersection. Let F be a finite family of open...
We present a probabilistic analysis for a large class of combinatorial optimization problems containing, e.g., all binary optimization problems defined by linear constraints and a...
