A popular approach in combinatorial optimization is to model problems as integer linear programs. Ideally, the relaxed linear program would have only integer solutions, which happ...
We define binet matrices, which furnish a direct generalization of totally unimodular network matrices and arise from the node-edge incidence matrices of bidirected graphs in the ...
ngly better objective function value until an optimal solution is reached. From an abstract point of view, an augmentation problem is solved in each iteration. That is, given a fea...
We consider the problem of finding (possibly non connected) discrete surfaces spanning a finite set of discrete boundary curves in the three-dimensional space and minimizing (glo...
Given a switched multi–inventory system we wish to find the optimal schedule of the resets to maintain the system in a safe operating interval, while minimizing a function relat...
