Bucket elimination is an algorithmic framework that generalizes dynamic programming to accommodate many problem-solving and reasoning tasks. Algorithms such as directional-resolut...
The natural relaxation for the Group Steiner Tree problem, as well as for its generalization, the Directed Steiner Tree problem, is a flow-based linear programming relaxation. We...
