The p-center problem is to locate p facilities in a network of n demand points so as to minimize the longest distance between a demand point and its nearest facility. We consider ...
We develop a simple and practical exact algorithm for the problem of locating p facilities and assigning clients7 to them within capacity restrictions in order to minimize the max...
The problem of interest is covering a given point set with homothetic copies of several convex containers C1,...,Ck, while the objective is to minimize the maximum over the dilatat...
The doubling dimension of a metric is the smallest k such that any ball of radius 2r can be covered using 2k balls of raThis concept for abstract metrics has been proposed as a na...
Consider a setting in which a group of nodes, situated in a large underlying network, wishes to reserve bandwidth on which to support communication. Virtual private networks (VPNs...
