Given a k-uniform hypergraph on n vertices, partitioned in k equal parts such that every hyperedge includes one vertex from each part, the k-Dimensional Matching problem asks wheth...
In this paper, a new heuristic-based approach is introduced to extract minimally unsatisfiable subformulas (in short, MUSes) of SAT instances. It is shown that it often outperforms...
- Most of the direct-cover Boolean minimization techniques use a four step cyclic algorithm. First, the algorithm chooses an On-minterm; second, it generates the set of prime impli...
Covering and packing integer programs model a large family of combinatorial optimization problems. The current-best approximation algorithms for these are an instance of the basic...
This essay gives advice to authors of papers on machine learning, although much of it carries over to other computational disciplines. The issues covered include the material that...
