On-line scheduling with non-crossing constraints
We consider the problem of on-line scheduling with non-crossing constraints. The objective is to minimize the latest completion time. We provide optimal competitive ratio heuristi...

On the convergence of stochastic dual dynamic programming and related methods
We discuss the almost-sure convergence of a broad class of sampling algorithms for multi-stage stochastic linear programs. We provide a convergence proof based on the finiteness o...

Searching the k-change neighborhood for TSP is W[1]-hard
We show that searching the k-change neighborhood is W[1]-hard for metric TSP, which means that finding the best tour in the k-change neighborhood essentially requires complete sea...

Optimal prices for finite capacity queueing systems
We prove a lower bound on the optimal price for a fairly large class of blocking systems with general arrival and service processes, determine optimal price expressions for M/M/1/...

Reduction tests for the prize-collecting Steiner problem
This article introduces a proper redefinition of the concept of bottleneck Steiner distance for the Prize-Collecting Steiner Problem. This allows the application of reduction test...

The k-level facility location game
We propose a cost-sharing scheme for the k-level facility location game that is cross-monotonic, competitive, and 6-approximate cost recovery. This extends the recent result for t...

An M/M/1 retrial queue with unreliable server
We analyze an unreliable M/M/1 retrial queue with infinite-capacity orbit and normal queue. Retrial customers do not rejoin the normal queue but repeatedly attempt to access the s...

On complexity of multistage stochastic programs
In this paper we derive estimates of the sample sizes required to solve a multistage stochastic programming problem with a given accuracy by the (conditional sampling) sample aver...
