Inapproximability of Hypergraph Vertex Cover and Applications to Scheduling Problems
Assuming the Unique Games Conjecture (UGC), we show optimal inapproximability results for two classic scheduling problems. We obtain a hardness of 2 − ε for the problem of mini...

A Two-stage Model for a Day-ahead Paratransit Planning Problem
We consider a dynamic planning problem for paratransit transportation. The focus is on a decision to take one day ahead: which requests to serve with own vehicles, and which reque...
