We face a real-world train unit assignment problem for an operator running trains in a regional area. Given a set of timetabled train trips, each with a required number of passenge...
Abstract: This paper addresses the target coverage problem in wireless sensor networks. Communication and sensing consume energy, therefore efficient power management can extend ne...
We give a general framework for the problem of finding all minimal hitting sets of a family of objects in Rd by another. We apply this framework to the following problems: (i) hit...
This paper studies constant-time approximation algorithms for problems on degree-bounded graphs. Let n and d be the number of vertices and the degree bound, respectively. This pap...
Based on the framework of parameterized complexity theory, we derive tight lower bounds on the computational complexity for a number of well-known NP-hard problems. We start by pr...
