Surprisingly, general search heuristics often solve combinatorial problems quite sufficiently, although they do not outperform specialized algorithms. Here, the behavior of simple...
We present a linear expected time algorithm for finding maximum cardinality matchings in sparse random graphs. This is optimal and improves on previous results by a logarithmic f...
Abstract. The maximum diversity problem (MDP) consists of identifying optimally diverse subsets of elements from some larger collection. The selection of elements is based on the d...

Graphs are an extremely general and powerful data structure. In pattern recognition and computer vision, graphs are used to represent patterns to be recognized or classified. Det...
Motivated by the problem of WDM routing in all–optical networks, we study the following NP–hard problem. We are given a directed binary tree T and a set R of directed paths on ...
