The Complexity of Maximum Matroid-Greedoid Intersection
Abstract. The maximum intersection problem for a matroid and a greedoid, given by polynomial-time oracles, is shown NP-hard by expressing the satisfiability of boolean formulas in...

Cyclical scheduling and multi-shift scheduling: Complexity and approximation algorithms
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...
