Abstract. We study an extension of the set cover problem, the connected set cover problem, the problem is to find a set cover of minimal size that satisfies some connectivity con...
We consider the problem of minimizing the weighted sum of job completion times on a single machine (subject to certain job weights) with an additional side constraint on the weigh...
Normalized Cut is a widely used technique for solving a
variety of problems. Although finding the optimal normalized
cut has proven to be NP-hard, spectral relaxations can
be ap...

Arc-Consistency (AC) techniques have been used extensively in the study of Constraint Satisfaction Problems (CSP). These techniques are used to simplify the CSP before or during th...
