We consider the multiple shift scheduling problem modelled as a covering problem. Such problems are characterized by a constraint matrix that has in every column blocks of consecu...
In this paper we initiate the study of a "dynamic" variant of the classical Vertex Cover problem, the Eternal Vertex Cover problem introduced by Klostermeyer and Mynhard...

Abstract— We consider the problem of approximating a continuous curve by a piecewise linear one whose segments are assumed to be connected by universal joints. Rather than taking...
This paper studies the “explanation problem” for tree- and linearly-ordered array data, a problem motivated by database applications and recently solved for the one-dimensiona...

We present new results on the problem of finding an enclosing rectangle of minimum area that will contain a given a set of rectangles. Many simple scheduling tasks can be modelled...
