The 1-Fixed-Endpoint Path Cover Problem is Polynomial on Interval Graphs
Abstract We consider a variant of the path cover problem, namely, the k-fixedendpoint path cover problem, or kPC for short, on interval graphs. Given a graph G and a subset T of k ...

Approximating covering problems by randomized search heuristics using multi-objective models
The main aim of randomized search heuristics is to produce good approximations of optimal solutions within a small amount of time. In contrast to numerous experimental results, th...

Learning algorithms for online principal-agent problems (and selling goods online)
In a principal-agent problem, a principal seeks to motivate an agent to take a certain action beneficial to the principal, while spending as little as possible on the reward. This...
