Abstract-- We consider the delivery of video assets over a besteffort network, possibly through a caching proxy located close to the clients generating the requests. We are interes...
An algorithm M is described that solves any well-defined problem p as quickly as the fastest algorithm computing a solution to p, save for a factor of 5 and loworder additive term...
In multistage cutting stock problems (CSP) the cutting process is distributed over several successive stages. Every stage except the last one produces intermediate products. The l...
This paper considers problems of the following type: given an edgeweighted k-colored input graph with maximum color class size c, find a minimum or maximum c-way cut such that eac...
