An improved approximation algorithm for the partial latin square extension problem
Previous work on the partial Latin square extension (PLSE) problem resulted in a 2-approximation algorithm based on the LP relaxation of a three-dimensional assignment IP formulat...

On Completing Latin Squares
We present a (2 3 − o(1))-approximation algorithm for the partial latin square extension (PLSE) problem. This improves the current best bound of 1 − 1 e due to Gomes, Regis, an...

Approximating Latin Square Extensions
In this paper, we consider the following question: what is the maximum number of entries that can be added to a partially lled latin square? The decision version of this question ...

Combinatorial Problems on Strings with Applications to Protein Folding
We consider the problem of protein folding in the HP model on the 3D square lattice. This problem is combinatorially equivalent to folding a string of 0’s and 1’s so that the s...

Recursive least squares and quadratic prediction in continuous multistep problems
XCS with computed prediction, namely XCSF, has been recently extended in several ways. In particular, a novel prediction update algorithm based on recursive least squares and the ...
