Abstract. In this paper, we study lower bound techniques for branchand-bound algorithms for maximum parsimony, with a focus on gene order data. We give a simple O(n3 ) time dynamic...

Consider a convex set P in IRd and a piecewise polynomial concave function F: P IR. Let A be an algorithm that given a point x IRd computes F(x) if x P, or returns a concave po...
Clock-tuning has been classified as important but tough tasks due to the non-convex nature caused by the skew requirements. As a result, all existing mathematical programming appr...
We study the NP-complete TARGET SET SELECTION (TSS) problem occurring in social network analysis. Complementing results on its approximability and extending results for its restric...
: - In the first part of this paper we present the first steps towards providing low-risk and economically feasible network data transfer services. We introduce three types of data...
