The general problem of robust optimization is this: one of several possible scenarios will appear tomorrow, but things are more expensive tomorrow than they are today. What should...
We construct algorithms for deciding essentially any minor-closed parameter, with explicit time bounds. This result strengthens previous results by Robertson and Seymour [1,2], Fr...
Exponential algorithms, i.e. algorithms of complexity O(cn ) for some c > 1, seem to be unavoidable in the case of NP-complete problems (unless P=NP), especially if the problem ...
In the Steiner Network problem we are given a graph with edge-costs and connectivity requirements between node pairs , . The goal is to find a minimum-cost subgraph of that contain...

Abstract. Classical network flow theory allows decomposition of flow into several chunks of arbitrary sizes traveling through the network on different paths. In the first part ...
