We model the problem of detecting intruders using a set of infrared beams by the perimeter defense problem: given a polygon P, find a minimum set of edges S of the polygon such th...

In this paper we show a reduction from the Unique Games problem to the problem of approximating MAX-CUT to within a factor of GW + , for all > 0; here GW .878567 denotes the a...

Many lower bound computation methods for branch and bound Max-SAT solvers can be explained as procedures that search for disjoint inconsistent subformulas in the Max-SAT instance ...
In the Max Lin-2 problem we are given a system S of m linear equations in n variables over F2 in which Equation j is assigned a positive integral weight wj for each j. We wish to ...
Abstract. The input of the Edge Multicut problem consists of an undirected graph G and pairs of terminals {s1, t1}, . . . , {sm, tm}; the task is to remove a minimum set of edges s...
