Crowder et al. (Oper. Res. 31 (1983) 803–834) conjectured that the separation problem for cover inequalities for binary integer programs is polynomially solvable. We show that t...

Blanchet-Sadri et al. have shown that Avoidability, or the problem of deciding the avoidability of a finite set of partial words over an alphabet of size k 2, is NP-hard [Theoret...
We consider the classic cake cutting problem where one allocates a divisible cake to n participating agents. Among all valid divisions, fairness and efficiency (a.k.a. social wel...

We give a strongly polynomial-time algorithm minimizing a submodular function f given by a value-giving oracle. The algorithm does not use the ellipsoid method or any other linear ...
Constraint-based schedulers have been widely successful to tackle complex, disjunctive and cumulative, scheduling applications by combining tree search and constraint propagation....
