Abstract--We adapt methods originally developed in information and coding theory to solve some testing problems. The efficiency of two-stage pool testing of items is characterized ...
This paper addresses the general single-machine earliness-tardiness problem with distinct release dates, due dates, and unit costs. The aim of this research is to obtain an exact n...
Min-max functions are dynamic programming operators of zero-sum deterministic games with finite state and action spaces. The problem of computing the linear growth rate of the or...
— We study the problem of assigning subscribers to brokers in a wide-area content-based publish/subscribe system. A good assignment should consider both subscriber interests in t...
We present a probabilistic analysis for a large class of combinatorial optimization problems containing, e.g., all binary optimization problems defined by linear constraints and a...
