Abstract. Helsgaun has introduced and implemented the lower tolerances (-values) for an approximation of Held-Karp's 1-tree with the purpose to improve the Lin-Kernighan Heuri...
This article describes and compares three heuristics for a variant of the Steiner tree problem with revenues, which includes budget and hop constraints. First, a greedy method whi...
We present a general approximation technique for a large class of graph problems. Our technique mostly applies to problems of covering, at minimum cost, the vertices of a graph wit...
Abstract— The paper investigates theoretical issues in applying the universal swarming technique to efficient content distribution. In a swarming session, a file is distributed...
