The Greedy Algorithm for the Minimum Common String Partition Problem
In the Minimum Common String Partition problem (MCSP) we are given two strings on input, and we wish to partition them into the same collection of substrings, minimizing the numbe...

Interval Structure: A Framework for Representing Uncertain Information
In this paper, a unified framework for representing uncertain information based on the notion of an interval structure is proposed. It is shown that the lower and upper approximat...

Two for One: Tight Approximation of 2D Bin Packing
In this paper, we study the two-dimensional geometrical bin packing problem (2DBP): given a list of rectangles, provide a packing of all these into the smallest possible number of ...

Combinatorial Algorithms for the Unsplittable Flow Problem
We provide combinatorial algorithms for the unsplittable flow problem (UFP) that either match or improve the previously best results. In the UFP we are given a (possibly directed)...
