Given a (directed or undirected) graph with edge costs, the power of a node is the maximum cost of an edge leaving it, and the power of the graph is the sum of the powers of its n...
Data mining techniques have become central to many applications. Most of those applications rely on so called supervised learning algorithms, which learn from given examples in th...
We present new primal-dual algorithms for several network design problems. The problems considered are the generalized Steiner tree problem (GST), the directed Steiner tree proble...
We present a simple two-person Bucket Game, based on throwing balls into buckets, and we discuss possible players’ strategies. We use these strategies to create an approximation ...
We present lower bounds for the vehicle routing problem (VRP) with and without split deliveries, improving the well known bound of Haimovich and Rinnooy Kan. These bounds are then...
