A nonplanar graph G is near-planar if it contains an edge e such that G−e is planar. The problem of determining the crossing number of a near-planar graph is exhibited from diffe...
Geometric reconstruction problems in computer vision are often solved by minimizing a cost function that combines the reprojection errors in the 2D images. In this paper, we show t...
Cooper, Dyer and Frieze studied the problem of sampling H-colourings (nearly) uniformly at random. Special cases of this problem include sampling colourings and independent sets a...
This paper considers online stochastic reservation problems, where requests come online and must be dynamically allocated to limited resources in order to maximize profit. Multi-k...

We propose a hybrid algorithm (called ALPINE) between Genetic Algorithm and Dantzig's Simplex method to approximate optimal solutions for the Flexible Job-Shop Problem. Local...
