We study the communication complexity of the set disjointness problem in the general multi-party model. For t players, each holding a subset of a universe of size n, we establish ...
Abstract: This paper discusses three rectilinear (that is, axis-parallel) covering problems in d dimensions and their variants. The first problem is the Rectilinear Line Cover whe...

Constant propagation (CP) is one of the most widely used optimizations in practice (cf. [9]). Intuitively, it addresses the problem of statically detecting whether an expression al...
Many NP-hard problems can be solved efficiently when the input is restricted to graphs of bounded tree-width or clique-width. In particular, by the celebrated result of Courcelle,...

Heuristics are an increasingly popular solution method for combinatorial optimization problems. Heuristic use often frees the modeler from some of the restrictions placed on class...
