In [13], Erd˝os et al. defined the local chromatic number of a graph as the minimum number of colors that must appear within distance 1 of a vertex. For any ∆ ≥ 2, there are ...
The main aim of randomized search heuristics is to produce good approximations of optimal solutions within a small amount of time. In contrast to numerous experimental results, th...

We introduce a new technique for proving kernelization lower bounds, called cross-composition. A classical problem L cross-composes into a parameterized problem Q if an instance o...

Abstract. This paper investigates the relationship between the dimension theory of partial orders and the problem of scheduling precedenceconstrained jobs on a single machine to mi...
Abstract. Bidimensionality provides a tool for developing subexponential fixed-parameter algorithms for combinatorial optimization problems on graph families that exclude a minor....
