Abstract. Possibly the most famous algorithmic meta-theorem is Courcelle's theorem, which states that all MSO-expressible graph properties are decidable in linear time for gra...
In this paper we consider the weighted, capacitated vertex cover problem with hard capacities (capVC). Here, we are given an undirected graph G = (V, E), non-negative vertex weigh...
Given a universe U of n elements and a weighted collection S of m subsets of U, the universal set cover problem is to a-priori map each element u ∈ U to a set S(u) ∈ S contain...
We study the admission control problem in general networks. Communication requests arrive over time, and the online algorithm accepts or rejects each request while maintaining the...
The maximum-likelihood decoding problem is known to be NP-hard for general linear and Reed-Solomon codes [1, 4]. In this paper, we introduce the notion of A-covered codes, that is...
