A Robust Optimization Approach to Supply Chain Management
Abstract. We propose a general methodology based on robust optimization to address the problem of optimally controlling a supply chain subject to stochastic demand in discrete time...

Enumerating Minimal Dicuts and Strongly Connected Subgraphs and Related Geometric Problems
We consider the problems of enumerating all minimal strongly connected subgraphs and all minimal dicuts of a given directed graph G = (V, E). We show that the first of these proble...

Hedging Uncertainty: Approximation Algorithms for Stochastic Optimization Problems
Abstract. We study two-stage, finite-scenario stochastic versions of several combinatorial optimization problems, and provide nearly tight approximation algorithms for them. Our pr...

Approximate k-MSTs and k-Steiner Trees via the Primal-Dual Method and Lagrangean Relaxation
Garg [10] gives two approximation algorithms for the minimum-cost tree spanning k vertices in an undirected graph. Recently Jain and Vazirani [16] discovered primal-dual approxima...

Approximation Bounds for a General Class of Precedence Constrained Parallel Machine Scheduling Problems
Abstract. A well studied and difficult class of scheduling problems concerns parallel machines and precedence constraints. In order to model more realistic situations, we consider ...
