Given a k-uniform hypergraph, the Ek-Vertex-Cover problem is to find the smallest subset of vertices that intersects every hyperedge. We present a new multilayered PCP constructi...
For a connected graph G, let L(G) denote the maximum number of leaves in a spanning tree in G. The problem of computing L(G) is known to be NP-hard even for cubic graphs. We improv...
Abstract. This paper evaluates the power of a new scheme that generates search heuristics mechanically. This approach was presented and evaluated rst in the context of optimization...
We introduce a new dimension to the widely studied on-line approximate string matching problem, by introducing an error threshold parameter so that the algorithm is allowed to mis...
— We study the problem of computing minimal cost multicast trees in multi-hop wireless mesh networks. This problem is known as the Steiner tree problem, and it has been widely st...
