Autonomous Sets - A Method for Hypergraph Decomposition with Applications in Database Theory
We present a method for decomposing a hypergraph with certain regularities into smaller hypergraphs. By applying this to the set of all canonical covers of a given set of functiona...

The importance of being biased
The Minimum Vertex Cover problem is the problem of, given a graph, finding a smallest set of vertices that touches all edges. We show that it is NP-hard to approximate this proble...

Facets of the Complementarity Knapsack Polytope
We present a polyhedral study of the complementarity knapsack problem. Traditionally, complementarity constraints are modeled by introducing auxiliary binary variables and additio...

Greedy Algorithms for Minimisation Problems in Random Regular Graphs
In this paper we introduce a general strategy for approximating the solution to minimisation problems in random regular graphs. We describe how the approach can be applied to the m...

Thresholded Covering Algorithms for Robust and Max-min Optimization
The general problem of robust optimization is this: one of several possible scenarios will appear tomorrow, but things are more expensive tomorrow than they are today. What should...
