Abstract. We consider a generalization of the set cover problem, in which elements are covered by pairs of objects, and we are required to find a minimum cost subset of objects th...
In multi-criteria optimization, several objective functions are to be optimized. Since the different objective functions are usually in conflict with each other, one cannot conside...
We introduce a new technique to solve exactly a discrete optimization problem, based on the paradigm of “negative” thinking. The motivation is that when searching the space of...

Abstract. A classical problem in query optimization is to find the optimal ordering of a set of possibly correlated selections. We provide an ion of this problem as a generalizati...
In this paper we introduce a general strategy for approximating the solution to minimisation problems in random regular graphs. We describe how the approach can be applied to the m...
