The main aim of randomized search heuristics is to produce good approximations of optimal solutions within a small amount of time. In contrast to numerous experimental results, th...

Given an arbitrary graph G = (V, E) and an additional set of admissible edges F, the Chordal Sandwich problem asks whether there exists a chordal graph (V, E F ) such that F F. ...
An instance of the multi-radius cover problem consists of a graph G = (V, E) with edge lengths l : E → R+ . Each vertex u ∈ V represents a transmission station for which a tra...
We study the partial vertex cover problem. Given a graph G = (V, E), a weight function w : V → R+ , and an integer s, our goal is to cover all but s edges, by picking a set of v...
An irredundant set of vertices V V in a graph G = (V; E) has the property that for every vertex u V ; N[V - {u}] is a proper subset of N[V ]. We investigate the parameterized co...
