We introduce a problem that is a common generalization of the uncapacitated facility location (UFL) and minimum latency (ML) problems, where facilities not only need to be opened ...
Connectivity augmentation problems ask for adding a set of at most k edges whose insertion makes a given graph satisfy a speciļ¬ed connectivity property, such as bridge-connectivi...
The knapsack problem (KP) is generalized to the case where items are partially ordered through a set of precedence relations. As in ordinary KPs, each item is associated with proļ...
