We proved that every planar triangle-free graph with n vertices has a subset of vertices that induces a forest of size at least (71n + 72)/128. This improves the earlier work of S...
We study the following variant of the bin packing problem. We are given a set of items, where each item has a (non-negative) size and a color. We are also given an integer paramet...
We extend earlier work on scenario reduction by relying directly on Fortet–Mourier metrics instead of using upper bounds given in terms of mass transportation problems. The impo...
We develop methods for analyzing and constructing combined modulation/error-correctiong codes (ECC codes), in particular codes that employ some form of reversed concatenation and w...

Software testing is an integral part of software engineering. Lack of testing often leads to disastrous consequences including loss of data, fortunes, and even lives. In order to e...

This paper considers the problem of scheduling two-operation non-preemptable jobs on two identical semiautomatic machines. A single server is available to carry out the first (or ...
We analyse the generalised assignment problem under the assumption that all coefficients are drawn uniformly and independently from [0,1]. We show that such problems can be solved...
In this paper we describe modifications to a natural language grocery retrieval system, introduced in our earlier work. We also compare our system against an off-the-shelf retriev...

In earlier work we have formulated a collusion problem that determines whether it is possible for a set of colluders to collectively discover a target set of information, starting...
