Given a set of jobs, each consisting of a number of weighted intervals on the real line, and a number m of machines, we study the problem of selecting a maximum weight subset of th...
We provide combinatorial algorithms for the unsplittable flow problem (UFP) that either match or improve the previously best results. In the UFP we are given a (possibly directed)...
In this paper we study the k-means clustering problem. It is well-known that the general version of this problem is NP-hard. Numerous approximation algorithms have been proposed fo...
Abstract— In this paper, we consider a class of continuoustime, continuous-space stochastic optimal control problems. Building upon recent advances in Markov chain approximation ...
Given an integer h, a graph G = (V, E) with arbitrary positive edge capacities and k pairs of vertices (s1, t1), (s2, t2), . . . , (sk, tk), called terminals, an h-route cut is a ...
