We study an iterative cutting-plane algorithm on an integer program, for minimizing the staffing costs of a multiskill call center subject to service-level requirements which are e...
We provide a polyhedral description of the conditions for the existence of the maximum likelihood estimate (MLE) for a hierarchical log-linear model. The MLE exists if and only if...

Given A := {a1, . . . , am} Rn, we consider the problem of reducing the input set for the computation of the minimum enclosing ball of A. In this note, given an approximate soluti...
This paper describes a new hybrid method based on the application of the Population Training Algorithm (PTA) and linear programming (LP) for generation of schedules for drivers in...
Explicit model checking algorithms explore the full state space of a system. State spaces are usually treated as directed graphs without any specific features. We gather a large co...
