Cut-and-solve: An iterative search strategy for combinatorial optimization problems
Branch-and-bound and branch-and-cut use search trees to identify optimal solutions to combinatorial optimization problems. In this paper, we introduce an iterative search strategy...

The VPN Problem with Concave Costs
We consider the following network design problem. We are given an undirected network with costs on the edges, a set of terminals, and an upper bound for each terminal limiting the ...

Priority Algorithms for the Subset-Sum Problem
Greedy algorithms are simple, but their relative power is not well understood. The priority framework [5] captures a key notion of “greediness” in the sense that it processes (...

Lower Bounds for Howard's Algorithm for Finding Minimum Mean-Cost Cycles
Howard's policy iteration algorithm is one of the most widely used algorithms for finding optimal policies for controlling Markov Decision Processes (MDPs). When applied to we...
