A pseudolattice L is a poset with lattice-type binary operations. Assuming that the pseudolattice permits a modular representation as a family of subsets of a set U with certain c...
The Grundy number of a graph G, denoted by (G), is the largest k such that G has a greedy k-colouring, that is a colouring with k colours obtained by applying the greedy algorithm...
Finding the largest clique in random graphs is a well known hard problem. It is known that a random graph G(n, 1/2) almost surely has a clique of size about 2 log n. A simple greed...
We tackle the fundamental problem of Bayesian active learning with noise, where we need to adaptively select from a number of expensive tests in order to identify an unknown hypot...
A Greedy Defining Set is a set of entries in a Latin square with the property that when the square is systematically filled in with a greedy algorithm, the greedy algorithm succee...
We corrected proofs of two results on the greedy algorithm for the Symmetric TSP and answered a question in Gutin and Yeo, Oper. Res. Lett. 30 (2002), 97–99.
It is well-known that the greedy algorithm produces high quality spanners and therefore is used in several applications. However, for points in d-dimensional Euclidean space, the g...

Given a universe U of n elements and a weighted collection S of m subsets of U, the universal set cover problem is to a-priori map each element u ∈ U to a set S(u) ∈ S contain...
Service coordination in domains involving temporal constraints and duration uncertainty has previously been solved with a greedy algorithm that attempts to satisfy service requests...
We present exact characterizations of structures on which the greedy algorithm produces optimal solutions. Our characterization, which we call matroid embeddings, complete the par...
