Abstract. In this paper we present a study of several Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) algorithms for the Set Covering Problem. In our computational study we emphasize the influence ...
The paper studies crown reductions for the Minimum Weighted Vertex Cover problem introduced recently in the unweighted case by Fellows et al. [Blow-Ups, Win/Win's and crown r...
Consider a 0/1 integer program min{cT x : Ax b, x {0, 1}n } where A is nonnegative. We show that if the number of minimal covers of Ax b is polynomially bounded, then there is ...
In this paper we consider both the maximization variant Max Rep and the minimization variant Min Rep of the famous Label Cover problem, for which, till now, the best approximation ...
