In computational biology, gene order data is often modelled as signed permutations. A classical problem in genome comparison is to detect conserved segments in a permutation, that ...
We present a polynomial time approximation scheme (PTAS) for the minimum feedback arc set problem on tournaments. A simple weighted generalization gives a PTAS for KemenyYoung ran...
Convergecast is a fundamental operation in wireless sensor networks. Existing convergecast solutions have focused on reducing latency and energy consumption. However, a good desig...
In the bus network problem, the goal is to generate a plan for getting from point X to point Y within a city using buses in the smallest expected time. Because bus arrival times a...
This paper considers the problem of scheduling two-operation non-preemptable jobs on two identical semiautomatic machines. A single server is available to carry out the first (or ...
