A parameterized algorithm for Chordal Sandwich
Given an arbitrary graph G = (V, E) and an additional set of admissible edges F, the Chordal Sandwich problem asks whether there exists a chordal graph (V, E F ) such that F F. ...

Improved approximation algorithms for multidimensional bin packing problems
In this paper we introduce a new general framework for set covering problems, based on the combination of randomized rounding of the (near-)optimal solution of the Linear Programm...

Stochastic Optimization is (Almost) as easy as Deterministic Optimization
Stochastic optimization problems attempt to model uncertainty in the data by assuming that (part of) the input is specified in terms of a probability distribution. We consider the...
