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 ...

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...
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...

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...
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...
