The PCP theorem [3, 2] says that every language in NP has a witness format that can be checked probabilistically by reading only a constant number of bits from the proof. The cele...
This paper introduces an approach for handling complex labelling problems driven by local constraints. The purpose is illustrated by two applications: detection of the road networ...
Many divide-and-conquer algorithms employ the fact that the vertex set of a graph of bounded treewidth can be separated in two roughly balanced subsets by removing a small subset o...

Many data-management applications require integrating data from a variety of sources, where different sources may refer to the same real-world entity in different ways and some ma...
The multi-vehicle covering tour problem is de"ned on a graph G"(<6=, E), where = is a set of vertices that must collectively be covered by up to m vehicles. The probl...
