A star forest is a collection of vertex-disjoint trees of depth at most 1, and its size is the number of leaves in all its components. A spanning star forest of a given graph G is ...
In this paper we consider the following maximum budgeted allocation (MBA) problem: Given a set of m indivisible items and n agents; each agent i willing to pay bij on item j and w...
The Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) is a canonical NP-complete problem which is known to be MAXSNP hard even on Euclidean metrics (of high dimensions) [40]. In order to circumven...
We consider the problem known as MAX-SATISFY: given a system of m linear equations over the rationals, find a maximum set of equations that can be satisfied. Let r be the width of...
Abstract. We consider a basic subproblem which arises in line planning, and is of particular importance in the context of a high system load or robustness: How much can be routed m...
