Abstract: We introduce the snowblower problem (SBP), a new optimization problem that is closely related to milling problems and to some material-handling problems. The objective in...

Abstract. In this paper we consider a generalization of the edge dominating set (EDS) problem, in which each edge e needs to be covered be times and refer to this as the b-EDS prob...
In this paper we give approximation algorithms for several proximity problems in high dimensional spaces. In particular, we give the rst Las Vegas data structure for (1 + )-neares...
We provide the first hardness result for the Covering Radius Problem on lattices (CRP). Namely, we show that for any large enough p there exists a constant cp > 1 such that C...
We give a short proof of a result of Tovey [6] on the inapproximability of a scheduling problem known as precedence constrained class sequencing. In addition, we present an approxi...
