Two for One: Tight Approximation of 2D Bin Packing
In this paper, we study the two-dimensional geometrical bin packing problem (2DBP): given a list of rectangles, provide a packing of all these into the smallest possible number of ...

An Indirect Genetic Algorithm for Set Covering Problems
This paper presents a new type of genetic algorithm for the set covering problem. It differs from previous evolutionary approaches first because it is an indirect algorithm, i.e. ...

Improved Bounds for Online Routing and Packing Via a Primal-Dual Approach
In this work we study a wide range of online and offline routing and packing problems with various objectives. We provide a unified approach, based on a clean primal-dual method...

A Stochastic Local Search Approach to Vertex Cover
We introduce a novel stochastic local search algorithm for the vertex cover problem. Compared to current exhaustive search techniques, our algorithm achieves excellent performance ...

Randomized Rounding for Routing and Covering Problems: Experiments and Improvements
We investigate how the recently developed different approaches to generate randomized roundings satisfying disjoint cardinality constraints behave when used in two classical algori...
