Abstract. We study two-stage, finite-scenario stochastic versions of several combinatorial optimization problems, and provide nearly tight approximation algorithms for them. Our pr...
Garg [10] gives two approximation algorithms for the minimum-cost tree spanning k vertices in an undirected graph. Recently Jain and Vazirani [16] discovered primal-dual approxima...
To assist the decision makers, we develop a new supply chain simulation software: Easy-SC, a Java-based tool that simplifies the supply chain simulation. In its current state of d...
Quadratic assignment problems (QAPs) with a Hamming distance matrix for a hypercube or a Manhattan distance matrix for a rectangular grid arise frequently from communications and ...
Due to the widespread availability of accurate localization technologies, navigation systems are more and more present on mobile devices. These applications usually provide facili...
