Approximation Algorithms for Partial Covering Problems
We study the generalization of covering problems to partial covering. Here we wish to cover only a desired number of elements, rather than covering all elements as in standard cov...

Computational Complexity of Some Problems Involving Congruences on Algebras
We prove that several problems concerning congruences on algebras are complete for nondeterministic log-space. These problems are: determining the congruence on a given algebra gen...

Enhanced Fixed-Priority Scheduling with (m, k)-Firm Guarantee
In this paper, we study the problem of scheduling task sets with (m,k) constraints. In our approach, jobs of each task are partitioned into two sets: mandatory and optional. Manda...

Structural Properties and Tractability Results for Linear Synteny
The syntenic dista nce between two species is the minimum number of fusions, fissions, and translocations required to transform one genome into the other. The linear syntenic dis...
