We express the matroid polytope PM of a matroid M as a signed Minkowski sum of simplices, and obtain a formula for the volume of PM . This gives a combinatorial expression for the...
Constraint programming offers a variety of modeling objects such as logical and global constraints, that lead to concise and clear models for expressing combinatorial optimization...
Graph searching encompasses a wide variety of combinatorial problems related to the problem of capturing a fugitive residing in a graph using the minimum number of searchers. In t...
Defeat mechanisms are strategies for achieving victory over an opponent. Although defeat mechanisms often rely on influencing the opponent psychologically and emotionally, most si...
