Abstract. We study two-stage, finite-scenario stochastic versions of several combinatorial optimization problems, and provide nearly tight approximation algorithms for them. Our pr...
We propose an algorithm which is an improved version of the Kabatiansky-Tavernier list decoding algorithm for the second order binary Reed-Muller code RM(2, m), of length n = 2m , ...
We define an algorithmic paradigm, the stack model, that captures many primal-dual and local-ratio algorithms for approximating covering and packing problems. The stack model is ...
In this paper we propose a new algorithm for rule extraction from a trained Multilayer Feedforward network. The algorithm is based on an interval arithmetic network inversion for p...
For a set P of n points in R2 , the Euclidean 2-center problem computes a pair of congruent disks of the minimal radius that cover P. We extend this to the (2, k)-center problem wh...
