— Scheduling in an ad hoc wireless network suffers from the non-convexity of the cost function, caused by the interference between communication links. In previous optimization t...
We present a linear programming-based method for nding \gadgets", i.e., combinatorial structures reducing constraints of one optimization problem to constraints of another. A...

In this paper, we give the rst constant-factor approximationalgorithmfor the rooted Orienteering problem, as well as a new problem that we call the Discounted-Reward TSP, motivate...

Computing and storing probabilities is a hard problem as soon as one has to deal with complex distributions over multiples random variables. The problem of efficient representati...
In this paper we present the use of a previously developed single-objective optimization approach, together with the -constraint method, to provide an approximation of the Pareto ...
