Negative thinking by incremental problem solving: application to unate covering
We introduce a new technique to solve exactly a discrete optimization problem, based on the paradigm of “negative” thinking. The motivation is that when searching the space of...

Message-passing for Graph-structured Linear Programs: Proximal Methods and Rounding Schemes
The problem of computing a maximum a posteriori (MAP) configuration is a central computational challenge associated with Markov random fields. There has been some focus on “tr...

Sequential and Parallel Algorithms for Mixed Packing and Covering
We describe sequential and parallel algorithms that approximately solve linear programs with no negative coefficients (a.k.a. mixed packing and covering problems). For explicitly ...

Practical Discrete Unit Disk Cover Using an Exact Line-Separable Algorithm
Given m unit disks and n points in the plane, the discrete unit disk cover problem is to select a minimum subset of the disks to cover the points. This problem is NP-hard [11] and ...

An Optimal Algorithm for the k-Fixed-Endpoint Path Cover on Proper Interval Graphs
In this paper we consider the k-fixed-endpoint path cover problem on proper interval graphs, which is a generalization of the path cover problem. Given a graph G and a set T of k v...
