A Novel Combinatorial Public Key Cryptosystem
Combinatorial problems serve as an important resource for developing practical public key cryptosystems and several combinatorial cryptosystems have been proposed in the cryptograp...

A composite-neighborhood tabu search approach to the traveling tournament problem
The Traveling Tournament Problem (TTP) is a combinatorial problem that combines features from the traveling salesman problem and the tournament scheduling problem. We propose a fa...

A polynomial time equivalence between DNA sequencing and the exact perfect matching problem
We investigate the computational complexity of a combinatorial problem that arises in DNA sequencing by hybridization: The input consists of an integer together with a set S of wo...

Greedy-type resistance of combinatorial problems
This paper gives a sufficient condition for a combinatorial problem to be greedy-type-resistant, i.e. such that, on some instances of the problem, any greedy-type algorithm will o...

On the variance of Shannon products of graphs
We study the combinatorial problem of finding an arrangement of distinct integers into the ddimensional N-cube so that the maximal variance of the numbers on each -dimensional sec...

Quality of LP-Based Approximations for Highly Combinatorial Problems
We study the quality of LP-based approximation methods for pure combinatorial problems. We found that the quality of the LPrelaxation is a direct function of the underlying constra...
