Bin Completion Algorithms for Multicontainer Packing, Knapsack, and Covering Problems
Many combinatorial optimization problems such as the bin packing and multiple knapsack problems involve assigning a set of discrete objects to multiple containers. These problems ...

Analysis of population-based evolutionary algorithms for the vertex cover problem
— Recently it has been proved that the (1+1)-EA produces poor worst-case approximations for the vertex cover problem. In this paper the result is extended to the (1+λ)-EA by pro...

An Approximation Algorithm for the Minimum Latency Set Cover Problem
The input to the minimum latency set cover problem (MLSC) consists of a set of jobs and a set of tools. Each job j needs a specific subset Sj of the tools in order to be processed...
