Stochastic Optimization is (Almost) as easy as Deterministic Optimization
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...

Comparison of tree and graph encodings as function of problem complexity
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 ...

New approaches to covering and packing problems
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...

Optimal Gossiping with Unit Size Messages in Known Topology Radio Networks
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 ...

A Simple Optimal Representation for Balanced Parentheses
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...
