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...
The disc covering problem asks to cover a set of points on the plane with a minimum number of fix-sized discs. We develop an O(n(log n)2 (log log n)2 ) deterministic time 2.8334-a...
We demonstrate that the Linear Multidimensional Assignment Problem with iid random costs is polynomially "-approximable almost surely (a. s.) via a simple greedy heuristic, f...
Given a set P of n points in the plane, the two-circle point-labeling problem consists of placing 2n uniform, non-intersecting, maximum-size open circles such that each point touc...
We consider the problem of computing efficient strategies for searching in trees. As a generalization of the classical binary search for ordered lists, suppose one wishes to find...
