We study the online ad-auctions problem introduced by Mehta et. al. [15]. We design a (1 − 1/e)competitive (optimal) algorithm for the problem, which is based on a clean primal-...
Background: Synthetic lethality experiments identify pairs of genes with complementary function. More direct functional associations (for example greater probability of membership...
This paper addresses a surgery rooms scheduling problem. The problem is modeled as a parallel machine scheduling problem with sequence dependent setup times and an objective of mi...
