Let p > 1 be any fixed real. We show that assuming NP RP, there is no polynomial time algorithm that approximates the Shortest Vector Problem (SVP) in p norm within a constant ...
Abstract. In the single source unsplittable min-cost flow problem, commodities must be routed simultaneously from a common source vertex to certain destination vertices in a given ...
Solving large-scale p-median problems is usually time consuming. People often aggregate the demand points in a large-scale p-median problem to reduce its problem size and make it ...
Set Cover problems are of core importance in many applications. In recent research, the "red-blue variants" where blue elements all need to be covered whereas red elemen...
