Significant advances have been made in the last two decades for the effective solution of mixed integer non-linear programming (MINLP) problems, mainly by exploiting the special s...
Let G = (V, E) be a weighted undirected graph having non-negative edge weights. An estimate ˆδ(u, v) of the actual distance δ(u, v) between u, v ∈ V is said to be of stretch t...
We consider the well known geometric problem of determining shortest paths between pairs of points on a polyhedral surface P, where P consists of triangular faces with positive we...
The problem of finding "small" sets that meet every straight-line which intersects a given convex region was initiated by Mazurkiewicz in 1916. We call such a set an opa...
Abstract-- Computing constrained shortest paths is fundamental to some important network functions such as QoS routing, which is to find the cheapest path that satisfies certain co...
