Many heuristics, such as simulated annealing, genetic algorithms, greedy randomized adaptive search procedures are stochastic. In this paper, we propose a deterministic heuristic a...
A hitting set for a collection of sets is a set that has a nonempty intersection with each set in the collection; the hitting set problem is to find a hitting set of minimum card...

Abstract Abstract. Recent work in the analysis of randomized approximation algorithms for NP-hard optimization problems has involved approximating the solution to a problem by the ...
Consider a collection of random variables attached to the vertices of a graph. The reconstruction problem requires to estimate one of them given ‘far away’ observations. Sever...
Given a connected, weighted, undirected graph G and a bound D, the bounded-diameter minimum spanning tree problem seeks a spanning tree on G of lowest weight in which no path betw...
