We introduce tractable classes of VCSP instances based on convex cost functions. Firstly, we show that the class of VCSP instances satisfying the hierarchically nested convexity pr...
The problem of grooming is central in studies of optical networks. In graph-theoretic terms, it can be viewed as assigning colors to given paths in a graph, so that at most g (the ...
Multiple sequence alignment is a central problem in Bioinformatics. A known integer programming approach is to apply branch-and-cut to exponentially large graph-theoretic models. T...
