A metaheuristic approach to the urban transit routing problem
The urban transit routing problem (UTRP) is NP-Hard and involves devising routes for public transport systems. It is a highly complex multiply constrained problem and the evaluati...

Cross-Composition: A New Technique for Kernelization Lower Bounds
We introduce a new technique for proving kernelization lower bounds, called cross-composition. A classical problem L cross-composes into a parameterized problem Q if an instance o...

Large scale metric learning from equivalence constraints
In this paper, we raise important issues on scalability and the required degree of supervision of existing Mahalanobis metric learning methods. Often rather tedious optimization p...

Approximating minimum bounded degree spanning trees to within one of optimal
In the MINIMUM BOUNDED DEGREE SPANNING TREE problem, we are given an undirected graph with a degree upper bound Bv on each vertex v, and the task is to find a spanning tree of min...

Distance Oracles for Sparse Graphs
Abstract— Thorup and Zwick, in their seminal work, introduced the approximate distance oracle, which is a data structure that answers distance queries in a graph. For any integer...
