Weighted Sum Coloring in Batch Scheduling of Conflicting Jobs
Motivated by applications in batch scheduling of jobs in manufacturing systems and distributed computing, we study two related problems. Given is a set of jobs {J1, . . . , Jn}, w...

Piercing Translates and Homothets of a Convex Body
According to a classical result of Gr¨unbaum, the transversal number τ(F) of any family F of pairwise-intersecting translates or homothets of a convex body C in Rd is bounded by...
