: We consider a variety of vehicle routing problems. The input to a problem consists of a graph G = (N, E) and edge lengths l(e) e E. Customers located at the vertices have to be ...
In the Stochastic Orienteering problem, we are given a metric, where each node also has a job located there with some deterministic reward and a random size. (Think of the jobs as...
Applications such as parallel computing, online games, and content distribution networks need to run on a set of resources with particular network connection characteristics to ge...
We prove that various geometric covering problems, related to the Travelling Salesman Problem cannot be efficiently approximated to within any constant factor unless P = NP. This ...
Borodin, Nielsen and Rackoff [5] proposed a framework for ing the main properties of greedy-like algorithms with emphasis on scheduling problems, and Davis and Impagliazzo [6] ext...
