We describe sequential and parallel algorithms that approximately solve linear programs with no negative coefficients (a.k.a. mixed packing and covering problems). For explicitly ...
We consider the class of max-min and min-max optimization problems subject to a global budget (or weight) constraint and we undertake a systematic algorithmic and complexitytheore...

This paper studies the dynamic bin packing problem, in which items arrive and depart at arbitrary time. We want to pack a sequence of unit fractions items (i.e., items with sizes ...
Let Kn1,n2,...,nm be a complete m-partite graph with partite sets of sizes n1,n2,...,nm. A complete m-partite graph is balanced if each partite set has n vertices. We denote this c...
Abstract. This paper introduces a new tabu search algorithm for a twodimensional (2D) Strip Packing Problem (2D-SPP). It integrates several key features: A direct representation of...
