We present a linear programming-based method for nding \gadgets", i.e., combinatorial structures reducing constraints of one optimization problem to constraints of another. A...

Scheduling under controllable machining conditions has been studied for some time. Scheduling with tool changes, particularly due to tool wear, has just begun to receive attention...
This survey is concerned with the size of perfect formulations for combinatorial optimization problems. By "perfect formulation", we mean a system of linear inequalities...
The crossing number problem is to find the smallest number of edge crossings necessary when drawing a graph into the plane. Eventhough the problem is NP-hard, we are interested in ...
In distributed combinatorial optimization problems, dynamic programming algorithms like DPOP ([Petcu and Faltings, 2005]) require only a linear number of messages, thus generating...
