Global optimization for the synthesis of integrated water systems in chemical processes
In this paper, we address the problem of optimal synthesis of an integrated water system, where water using processes and water treatment operations are combined into a single net...

Branching Programs for Tree Evaluation
We introduce the tree evaluation problem, show that it is in LogDCFL (and hence in P), and study its branching program complexity in the hope of eventually proving a superlogarith...

A branch and bound method for the job-shop problem with sequence-dependent setup times
This paper deals with the job-shop scheduling problem with sequencedependent setup times. We propose a new method to solve the makespan minimization problem to optimality. The met...

Quantum Lower Bound for Recursive Fourier Sampling
One of the earliest quantum algorithms was discovered by Bernstein and Vazirani, for a problem called Recursive Fourier Sampling. This paper shows that the Bernstein-Vazirani algo...

Comparison-based time-space lower bounds for selection
We establish the first nontrivial lower bounds on timespace tradeoffs for the selection problem. We prove that any comparison-based randomized algorithm for finding the median ...
