Abstract. In recent years we have witnessed the proliferation of semidefinite programming bounds in combinatorial optimization [1,5,8], quantum computing [9,2,3,6,4,16] and even in...
The 0-1 Multidimensional Knapsack Problem (0-1 MKP) is a wellknown (and strongly NP-hard) combinatorial optimization problem with many applications. Up to now, the majority of upp...
The Hydra was a many-headed monster from Greek mythology that would immediately replace a head that was cut off by one or two new heads. It was the ask of Hercules to kill this mon...
Writing correct distributed programs is hard. In spite of extensive testing and debugging, software faults persist even in commercial grade software. Many distributed systems, esp...
