Abstract. Given a family of subsets of an n-element universe, the kcover problem asks whether there are k sets in the family whose union contains the universe; in the k-packing pro...
We investigate a natural combinatorial optimization problem called the Label Cut problem. Given an input graph G with a source s and a sink t, the edges of G are classified into ...
We prove that various geometric covering problems, related to the Travelling Salesman Problem cannot be efficiently approximated to within any constant factor unless P = NP. This ...
In this paper we consider the problem of nding a core of limited length in a tree. A core is a path, which minimizes the sum of the distances to all nodes in the tree. This proble...

This paper considers the problem of determining an optimal clock skew schedule for a synchronous VLSI circuit. A novel formulation of clock skew scheduling as a constrained quadrat...
