We prove that various geometric covering problems, related to the Travelling Salesman Problem cannot be efficiently approximated to within any constant factor unless P = NP. This ...
We consider the set multi-cover problem in geometric settings. Given a set of points P and a collection of geometric shapes (or sets) F, we wish to nd a minimum cardinality subse...

For a finite set of points S, the (monochromatic) Reverse Nearest Neighbor (RNN) rule associates with any query point q the subset of points in S that have q as its nearest neighb...
It is typical for the EA community that theory follows experiments. Most theoretical approaches use some model of the considered evolutionary algorithm (EA) but there is also some ...

We propose a novel framework for imposing label ordering constraints in multilabel optimization. In particular, label jumps can be penalized differently depending on the jump dire...
