We investigate the following translational 2D polygon covering problem: for a collection of covering polygons and a target point (or polygon) set, decide if the covering polygons ...
We consider the problem of pricing items so as to maximize the profit made from selling these items. An instance is given by a set E of n items and a set of m clients, where each c...
We consider a graph-theoretical formalization of the process of gene assembly in ciliates introduced in Ehrenfeucht et al (2003), where a gene is modeled as a signed graph. The ge...
We introduce the Minimum-size bounded-capacity cut (MinSBCC) problem, in which we are given a graph with an identified source and seek to find a cut minimizing the number of node...
"This course will consist of a number of major sections. The first will be a short review of some preliminary material, including asymptotics, summations, and recurrences and ...
