Approximation Algorithms for Non-Uniform Buy-at-Bulk Network Design
We consider approximation algorithms for non-uniform buy-at-bulk network design problems. The first nontrivial approximation algorithm for this problem is due to Charikar and Kar...

Competitive graph searches
We exemplify an optimization criterion for divide-and-conquer algorithms with a technique called generic competitive graph search. The technique is then applied to solve two probl...

An Improved Tight Closure Algorithm for Integer Octagonal Constraints
Integer octagonal constraints (a.k.a. Unit Two Variables Per Inequality or UTVPI integer constraints) constitute an interesting class of constraints for the representation and solu...

Genetic algorithms for action set selection across domains: a demonstration
Action set selection in Markov Decision Processes (MDPs) is an area of research that has received little attention. On the other hand, the set of actions available to an MDP agent...
