A genetic algorithm for robotic assembly line balancing
Flexibility and automation in assembly lines can be achieved by the use of robots. The robotic assembly line balancing (RALB) problem is defined for robotic assembly line, where d...

Evaluating Heuristic Scheduling Algorithms for High Performance Parallel Processing
Most cluster systems used in high performance computing do not allow process relocation at run-time. Finding an allocation that results in minimal completion time is NP-hard and (n...

Obnoxious Centers in Graphs
We consider the problem of finding obnoxious centers in graphs. For arbitrary graphs with n vertices and m edges, we give a randomized algorithm with O(n log2 n + m log n) expecte...

Restart Schedules for Ensembles of Problem Instances
The mean running time of a Las Vegas algorithm can often be dramatically reduced by periodically restarting it with a fresh random seed. The optimal restart schedule depends on th...

Constructive Proofs of Concentration Bounds
We give a simple combinatorial proof of the Chernoff-Hoeffding concentration bound [Che52, Hoe63], which says that the sum of independent {0, 1}-valued random variables is highly ...
