A Combinatorial Algorithm Minimizing Submodular Functions in Strongly Polynomial Time
We give a strongly polynomial-time algorithm minimizing a submodular function f given by a value-giving oracle. The algorithm does not use the ellipsoid method or any other linear ...

Combinatorial Algorithms for Data Migration to Minimize Average Completion Time
The data migration problem is to compute an efficient plan for moving data stored on devices in a network from one configuration to another. It is modeled by a transfer graph, wher...

Combinatorial Sublinear-Time Fourier Algorithms
We study the problem of estimating the best k term Fourier representation for a given frequency-sparse signal (i.e., vector) A of length N k. More explicitly, we investigate how t...

A genetic algorithm for privacy preserving combinatorial optimization
We propose a protocol for a local search and a genetic algorithm for the distributed traveling salesman problem (TSP). In the distributed TSP, information regarding the cost funct...

Maximum k-Chains in Planar Point Sets: Combinatorial Structure and Algorithms
A chain of a set P of n points in the plane is a chain of the dominance order on P. A k-chain is a subset C of P that can be covered by k chains. A k-chain C is a maximum k-chain ...
