We study the minimum diameter color-spanning set problem which has recently drawn some attention in the database community. We show that the problem can be solved in polynomial tim...
We show how to compute Hong’s bound for the absolute positiveness of a polynomial in d variables with maximum degree δ in O(n logd n) time, where n is the number of non-zero co...
We give an O( log n) factor approximation algorithm for covering a rectilinear polygon with holes using axis-parallel rectangles. This is the first polynomial time approximation a...
The first polynomial time algorithm (O(n4 )) for modular decomposition appeared in 1972 [8] and since then there have been incremental improvements, eventually resulting in linear...

Abstract. Inclusion/exclusion branching is a way to branch on requirements imposed on problems, in contrast to the classical branching on parts of the solution. The technique turne...
