We consider the problem of scheduling a set of n jobs on m identical parallel machines so as to minimize the weighted sum of job completion times. This problem is NP-hard in the s...
There is a large literature on the rate of convergence problem for general unconstrained stochastic approximations. Typically, one centers the iterate n about the limit point then...
The probabilistic approach is used for constructing special layer methods to solve the Cauchy problem for semilinear parabolic equations with small parameter. Despite their probabi...
The Stacker-Crane Problem (SCP) isa sequencing problem, arising inscheduling and transportation, that consists of nding the minimum cost cycle on a mixed graph with oriented arcs ...
This paper presents the design and analysis of parallel approximation algorithms for facility-location problems, including NC and RNC algorithms for (metric) facility location, k-...
