Abstract. Many large-scale optimization problems rely on graph theoretic solutions; yet high-performance computing has traditionally focused on regular applications with high degre...
The vertex cover problem is a classic NP-complete problem for which the best worst-case approximation ratio is roughly 2. In this paper, we use a collection of simple reductions, e...
We present a general framework for approximating several NP-hard problems that have two underlying properties in common. First, the problems we consider can be formulated as intege...
Ordered Binary Decision Diagrams (OBDDs) are a data structure for Boolean functions which supports many useful operations. It finds applications in CAD, model checking, and symbol...
