The Train Delivery Problem - Vehicle Routing Meets Bin Packing
Abstract. We consider the train delivery problem which is a generalization of the bin packing problem and is equivalent to a one dimensional version of the vehicle routing problem ...

Polynomial time approximation schemes for minimum disk cover problems
The following planar minimum disk cover problem is considered in this paper: given a set D of n disks and a set P of m points in the Euclidean plane, where each disk covers a subse...

A PTAS for Minimizing the Total Weighted Completion Time on Identical Parallel Machines
We consider the problem of scheduling a set of n jobs on m identical parallel machines so as to minimize the weighted sum of job completion times. This problem is NP-hard in the s...

A polynomial time approximation scheme for embedding a directed hypergraph on a ring
We study the problem of embedding a directed hypergraph on a ring that has applications in optical network communications. The undirected version (MCHEC) has been extensively stud...

How to rank with few errors: A PTAS for Weighted Feedback Arc Set on Tournaments
Suppose you ran a chess tournament, everybody played everybody, and you wanted to use the results to rank everybody. Unless you were really lucky, the results would not be acyclic...

Hybrid rounding techniques for knapsack problems
We address the classical knapsack problem and a variant in which an upper bound is imposed on the number of items that can be selected. We show that appropriate combinations of ro...

On the Complexity of Nash Equilibria of Action-Graph Games
Abstract. We consider the problem of computing Nash Equilibria of action-graph games (AGGs). AGGs, introduced by Bhat and Leyton-Brown, is a succinct representation of games that e...

Approximation Schemes for Scheduling
We discuss scheduling problems with m identical machines and n jobs where each job has to be assigned to some machine. The goal is to optimize objective functions that solely depe...

A Polynomial Time Approximation Scheme for the Square Packing Problem
Given a set Q of squares with positive pro ts, the square packing problem is to select and pack a subset of squares of maximum pro t into a rectangular bin R. We present a polynomi...
