In this work, we study an extension of the k-center facility location problem, where centers are required to service a minimum of clients. This problem is motivated by requirement...
The k-means algorithm is a well-known method for partitioning n points that lie in the d-dimensional space into k clusters. Its main features are simplicity and speed in practice....
We study the following variant of the bin covering problem. We are given a set of unit sized items, where each item has a color associated with it. We are given an integer paramet...
This paper addresses the problem of routing and wavelength assignment (RWA) of static lightpath requests in wavelength routed optical networks. The objective is to minimize the nu...
We consider a distributed system where each node keeps a local count for items (similar to elections where nodes are ballot boxes and items are candidates). A top-k query in such ...
