We consider the stochastic Steiner forest problem: suppose we were given a collection of Steiner forest instances, and were guaranteed that a random one of these instances would a...
This paper considers the break minimization problem in sports timetabling. The problem is to find, under a given timetable of a round-robin tournament, a home-away assignment that...
We define a new problem called the Generalized Maximum Coverage Problem (GMC). GMC is an extension of the Budgeted Maximum Coverage Problem, and it has important applications in w...
We study a model that incorporates a budget constraint in a decision making problem. Our goal is to maximize the expected wealth, where in each time period we can either stop the ...
Abstract. We present hardness results, approximation heuristics, and exact algorithms for bottleneck labeled optimization problems arising in the context of graph theory. This long...
