We consider the following generalization of bin packing. Each item is associated with a size bounded by 1, as well as a rejection cost, that an algorithm must pay if it chooses not...
We study the problem of covering a set of points or polyhedra in 3 with two axis-aligned boxes in order to minimize a function of the measures of the two boxes, such as the sum or...

Abstract. A classical problem in query optimization is to find the optimal ordering of a set of possibly correlated selections. We provide an ion of this problem as a generalizati...
We introduce a new problem that was motivated by a (more complicated) problem arising in a robotized assembly environment. The bin coloring problem is to pack unit size colored it...
In this paper, we introduce a generalized version of the Watchman Route Problem (WRP) where the objective is to plan a continuous closed route in a polygon (possibly with holes) a...
