Assignment Testers: Towards a Combinatorial Proof of the PCP-Theorem
In this work we look back into the proof of the PCP Theorem, with the goal of finding new proofs that are "more combinatorial" and arguably simpler. For that we introduc...

Two-phase greedy algorithms for some classes of combinatorial linear programs
We present greedy algorithms for some classes of combinatorial packing and cover problems within the general formal framework of Hoffman and Schwartz' lattice polyhedra. Our ...

Morse-smale complexes for piecewise linear 3-manifolds
We define the Morse-Smale complex of a Morse function over a 3-manifold as the overlay of the descending and ascending manifolds of all critical points. In the generic case, its ...

An evolutionary and constructive approach to a crew scheduling problem in underground passenger transport
Operation management of underground passenger transport systems is associated with combinatorial optimization problems (known as crew and train scheduling and rostering) which bel...

Combinatorial Models for Cooperation Networks
Abstract. We analyze special random network models – so-called thickened trees – which are constructed by random trees where the nodes are replaced by local clusters. These obj...
