The main aim of randomized search heuristics is to produce good approximations of optimal solutions within a small amount of time. In contrast to numerous experimental results, th...

We investigate a natural combinatorial optimization problem called the Label Cut problem. Given an input graph G with a source s and a sink t, the edges of G are classified into ...
Let p > 1 be any fixed real. We show that assuming NP RP, there is no polynomial time algorithm that approximates the Shortest Vector Problem (SVP) in p norm within a constant ...
The element connectivity problem falls in the category of survivable network design problems { it is intermediate to the versions that ask for edge-disjoint and vertex-disjoint pa...

This paper addresses distributed task allocation in complex scenarios modeled using the distributed constraint optimization problem (DCOP) formalism. We propose and evaluate a nov...
