Note on pseudolattices, lattices and submodular linear programs
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...

Grundy number and products of graphs
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 Dense Subgraphs in G(n,1/2)
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...

Near-Optimal Bayesian Active Learning with Noisy Observations
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...

Greedy Defining Sets in Latin Squares
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...

The Greedy Algorithm for the Symmetric TSP
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.

Computing the Greedy Spanner in Near-Quadratic Time
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...

Set Covering with our Eyes Closed
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...

The multi variable multi constrained distributed constraint optimization framework
Service coordination in domains involving temporal constraints and duration uncertainty has previously been solved with a greedy algorithm that attempts to satisfy service requests...

An Exact Characterization of Greedy Structures
We present exact characterizations of structures on which the greedy algorithm produces optimal solutions. Our characterization, which we call matroid embeddings, complete the par...
