Time-Indexed Formulations for Machine Scheduling Problems: Column Generation
Time-indexed formulations for machine scheduling problems have received a great deal of attention; not only do the linear programming relaxations provide strong lower bounds, but ...

Evolving Output Codes for Multiclass Problems
In this paper, we propose an evolutionary approach to the design of output codes for multiclass pattern recognition problems. This approach has the advantage of taking into account...

A quasi-PTAS for unsplittable flow on line graphs
We study the Unsplittable Flow Problem (UFP) on a line graph, focusing on the long-standing open question of whether the problem is APX-hard. We describe a deterministic quasi-pol...

On the Optimality of the Dimensionality Reduction Method
We investigate the optimality of (1+ )-approximation algorithms obtained via the dimensionality reduction method. We show that: • Any data structure for the (1 + )-approximate n...

Robust Subgraphs for Trees and Paths
Consider a graph problem which is associated with a parameter, for example, that of finding a longest tour spanning k vertices. The following question is natural: Is there a smal...
