The Computational Complexity of Avoiding Forbidden Submatrices by Row Deletions
We initiate a systematic study of the Row Deletion(B) problem on matrices: Given an input matrix A and a fixed "forbidden submatrix" B, the task is to remove a minimum n...

The Snowblower Problem
Abstract: We introduce the snowblower problem (SBP), a new optimization problem that is closely related to milling problems and to some material-handling problems. The objective in...

Approximability and Parameterized Complexity of Consecutive Ones Submatrix Problems
Abstract. We develop a refinement of a forbidden submatrix characterization of 0/1-matrices fulfilling the Consecutive Ones Property (C1P). This novel characterization finds app...
