We introduce a hierarchical partitioning scheme of the Euclidean plane, called circular partitions. Such a partition consists of a hierarchy of convex polygons, each having small ...
We describe a simple iterative method for proving a variety of results in combinatorial optimization. It is inspired by Jain’s iterative rounding method (FOCS 1998) for designing...
This paper concerns the Lateral Gene Transfer Problem. This minimization problem, defined by Hallet and Lagergren [6], is that of finding the most parsimonious lateral gene trans...
Abstract. Helsgaun has introduced and implemented the lower tolerances (-values) for an approximation of Held-Karp's 1-tree with the purpose to improve the Lin-Kernighan Heuri...
We propose an exact solution method for a routing and capacity installation problem in networks. Given an input graph, the problem is to route traffic from a set of source nodes t...
