Faster approximation algorithms for the minimum latency problem
We give a 7.18-approximation algorithm for the minimum latency problem that uses only O(n log n) calls to the prize-collecting Steiner tree (PCST) subroutine of Goemans and Willia...

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...

Necessary Conditions for Multiobjective Optimal Control Problems with Free End-Time
Abstract. Necessary conditions of optimality are derived for multiobjective optimal control problems with free end-time, in which the dynamics constraint is modeled as a nonconvex ...

Combination Can Be Hard: Approximability of the Unique Coverage Problem
We prove semi-logarithmic inapproximability for a maximization problem called unique coverage: given a collection of sets, find a subcollection that maximizes the number of elemen...
