Let T be an edge-weighted tree. A p-core of T is a set of p mutually disjoint paths in T that minimizes the sum of the distances of all vertices in T from any of the p paths, where...
We present a new class of randomized approximation algorithms for unrelated parallel machine scheduling problems with the average weighted completion time objective. The key idea i...
A quorum system is a collection of sets (quorums) every two of which intersect. Quorum systems have been used for many applications in the area of distributed systems, including mu...
Let Hn be the number of claw-free cubic graphs on 2n labeled nodes. Combinatorial reductions are used to derive a second order, linear homogeneous differential equation with polyno...

The multicovering radii of a code are recently introduced natural generalizations of the covering radius measuring the smallest radius of balls around codewords that cover all m-t...
Let G be a graph on n vertices and suppose that at least n2 edges have to be deleted from it to make it k-colorable. It is shown that in this case most induced subgraphs of G on c...
