Approximations for minimum and min-max vehicle routing problems
: We consider a variety of vehicle routing problems. The input to a problem consists of a graph G = (N, E) and edge lengths l(e) e E. Customers located at the vertices have to be ...

Robust counterparts of errors-in-variables problems
Of interest here are linear data fitting problems with uncertain data which lie in a given uncertainty set. A robust counterpart of such a problem may be interpreted as the probl...
