We consider the following problem: given a forest of gene family trees on a set of genomes, find a first speciation which splits these genomes into two subsets and minimizes the ...
In this paper, we study the following disc covering problem: Given a set of discs of various radii on the plane, find a subset of discs to maximize the area covered by exactly on...
We consider the problem of scheduling n independent jobs on m identical machines that operate in parallel. Each job has a controllable processing time. The fact that the jobs have...
We devise the first constant-approximate feasibility test for sporadic multiprocessor real-time scheduling. We give an algorithm that, given a task system and > 0, correctly de...

The subject of this paper is the formulation and solution of a variation of the classical binary knapsack problem. The variation that is addressed is termed the ``fixed-charge kna...
