Manipulating MDD Relaxations for Combinatorial Optimization
Abstract. We study the application of limited-width MDDs (multivalued decision diagrams) as discrete relaxations for combinatorial optimization problems. These relaxations are used...

Intractability of Assembly Sequencing: Unit Disks in the Plane
We consider the problem of removing a given disk from a collection of unit disks in the plane. At each step, we allow a disk to be removed by a collision-free translation to infin...

New techniques for cost sharing in combinatorial optimization games
Combinatorial optimization games form an important subclass of cooperative games. In recent years, increased attention has been given to the issue of finding good cost shares for...
