The optimal track allocation problem (OPTRA) is to find, in a given railway network, a conflict free set of train routes of maximum value. We study two types of integer programmi...
In this paper, we present two techniques to analyze greedy approximation with nonsubmodular functions restricted submodularity and shifted submodularity. As an application of the ...

We consider the problem of scheduling unit-length jobs on identical parallel machines such that the makespan of the resulting schedule is minimized. Precedence constraints impose ...

Abstract-- We study the problem of total throughput maximization in arbitrary multi-hop wireless networks, with constraints on the total power usage (denoted by PETM), when nodes h...

Traditionally, clustering problems are investigated under the assumption that all objects must be clustered. A shortcoming of this formulation is that a few distant objects, calle...
