Multi-level overlay graphs represent a speed-up technique for shortest paths computation which is based on a hierarchical decomposition of a weighted directed graph G. They have b...

Abstract. The multiple sequence alignment problem (MSA) can be reformulated as the problem of finding a maximum weight trace in an alignment graph, which is derived from all pairw...
This paper introduces a new optimization technique called hyperplane annealing. It is similar to the mean field annealing approach to combinatorial optimization. Both annealing te...
Inspired by a question of Lov´asz, we introduce a hierarchy of nested semidefinite relaxations of the convex hull of real solutions to an arbitrary polynomial ideal, called theta...
How to color 3 colorable graphs with few colors is a problem of longstanding interest. The best polynomial-time algorithm uses n0.2072 colors. There are no indications that colori...
