Given a vertex-weighted graph G = (V, E; w), w(v) ≥ 0 for any v ∈ V , we consider a weighted version of the coloring problem which consists in finding a partition S = (S1, . ...
We consider the multiple shift scheduling problem modelled as a covering problem. Such problems are characterized by a constraint matrix that has in every column blocks of consecu...
Design and analysis of articulated mechanical structures, commonly referred to as linkages, is an integral part of any CAD/CAM system. The most common approaches formulate the pro...
We study the approximability of 1-in-kSAT, the variant of Max kSAT where a clause is deemed satisfied when precisely one of its literals is satisfied. We also investigate differ...
Most research in algorithms for geometric query problems has focused on their worstcase performance. However, when information on the query distribution is available, the alternat...
