For several NP-hard network design problems, the best known approximation algorithms are remarkably simple randomized algorithms called Sample-Augment algorithms in [11]. The algor...
We study various optimization problems in t-subtree graphs, the intersection graphs of tsubtrees, where a t-subtree is the union of t disjoint subtrees of some tree. This graph cl...
: River Formation Dynamics (RFD) is an evolutionary computation method based on copying how drops form rivers by eroding the ground and depositing sediments. Given a cost-evaluated...
The vehicle routing problem consists in determining a group of optimal delivery routes that allow satisfaction of the demand from customers spread along a network, which can be re...
Instances of constraint satisfaction problems can be solved efficiently if they are representable as a tree decomposition of small width. Unfortunately, the task of finding a deco...
