Data locality, a critical consideration for the performance of task scheduling in MapReduce, has been addressed in the literature by increasing the number of locally processed tas...
Abstract. This paper proposes an adaptation of the RINS MIP heuristic which explicitly explores pre-processing techniques. The method systematically searches for the ideal number o...

Applying parameter adaptation means operating on parameters of an algorithm while it is tackling an instance. For ant colony optimization, several parameter adaptation methods have...
We prove several quantitative Ramseyan results involving ternary complete trees with {0, 1}-labeled edges where we attempt to find a complete binary subtree with as few labels as ...

Let L be a finite distributive lattice and µ : L → R+ a logsupermodular function. For functions k : L → R+ let Eµ(k; q) def = x∈L k(x)µ(x)qrank(x) ∈ R+ [q]. We prove fo...
The topological Tverberg theorem states that for any prime power q and continuous map from a (d + 1)(q − 1)-simplex to Rd , there are q disjoint faces Fi of the simplex whose im...
Thomassen [Combinatorica 24 (2004), 699–718] proved that a 2–connected, compact, locally connected metric space is homeomorphic to a subset of the sphere if and only if it doe...

Given independent random points X1, . . . , Xn ∈ Rd with common probability distribution ν, and a positive distance r = r(n) > 0, we construct a random geometric graph Gn wi...
The primary objective of this paper is to introduce Fuzzy Rule-Based Systems (FRBSs) as a relatively new technology into airport transportation research, with a special emphasis o...
