Abstract. Zigzag pocket machining (or 2D-milling) plays an important role in the manufacturing industry. The objective is to minimize the number of tool retractions in the zigzag m...

We study the consistency problem for extended global cardinality (EGC) constraints. An EGC constraint consists of a set X of variables, a set D of values, a domain D(x) D for eac...
Most graph layout algorithms treat nodes as points. The problem of node overlap removal is to adjust the layout generated by such methods so that nodes of non-zero width and height...
We consider the complexity of join problems, focusing on equijoins, spatial-overlap joins, and set-containment joins. We use a graph pebbling model to characterize these joins com...

We present an approximation scheme for optimizing certain Quadratic Integer Programming problems with positive semidefinite objective functions and global linear constraints. Thi...
