Stochastic optimization problems attempt to model uncertainty in the data by assuming that (part of) the input is specified in terms of a probability distribution. We consider the...
In this paper, we analyze two general-purpose encoding types, trees and graphs systematically, focusing on trends over increasingly complex problems. Tree and graph encodings are ...
Covering and packing integer programs model a large family of combinatorial optimization problems. The current-best approximation algorithms for these are an instance of the basic...
Gossiping is a communication primitive where each node of a network possesses a unique message that is to be communicated to all other nodes in the network. We study the gossiping ...
We consider succinct, or highly space-efficient, representations of a (static) string consisting of n pairs of balanced parentheses, that support natural operations such as findi...
