abstract Subhash Khot Assaf Naor In the kernel clustering problem we are given a (large) n ? n symmetric positive semidefinite matrix A = (aij) with n i=1 n j=1 aij = 0 and a (sma...
The resource constrained shortest path problem (CSP) asks for the computation of a least cost path obeying a set of resource constraints. The problem is NP-complete. We give theore...
Abstract. The paper presents a new look-ahead scheme for backtracking search for solving constraint satisfaction problems. This look-ahead scheme computes a heuristic for value ord...
It was recently proven that sets of points maximizing the hypervolume indicator do not give a good multiplicative approximation of the Pareto front. We introduce a new “logarith...
Abstract. We study the problem embedding an n-point metric space into another n-point metric space while minimizing distortion. We show that there is no polynomial time algorithm t...
