Approximating the Maximum Sharing Problem
In the maximum sharing problem (MS), we want to compute a set of (non-simple) paths in an undirected bipartite graph covering as many nodes as possible of the first layer of the ...

Hedging Uncertainty: Approximation Algorithms for Stochastic Optimization Problems
Abstract. We study two-stage, finite-scenario stochastic versions of several combinatorial optimization problems, and provide nearly tight approximation algorithms for them. Our pr...

Bucket Game with Applications to Set Multicover and Dynamic Page Migration
We present a simple two-person Bucket Game, based on throwing balls into buckets, and we discuss possible players’ strategies. We use these strategies to create an approximation ...

The Parameterized Complexity of the Rectangle Stabbing Problem and Its Variants
We study the parameterized complexity of an NP-complete geometric covering problem called d-dimensional Rectangle Stabbing where we are given a set of axis-parallel d-dimensional h...

Understanding the Pheromone System Within Ant Colony Optimization
Abstract. Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) is a collection of metaheuristics inspired by foraging in ant colonies, whose aim is to solve combinatorial optimization problems. We identi...
