From fluid relaxations to practical algorithms for job shop scheduling: the makespan objective
We design an algorithm, called the fluid synchronization algorithm (FSA), for the job shop scheduling problem with the objective of minimizing the makespan. We round an optimal sol...

Disproof of the Neighborhood Conjecture with Implications to SAT
We study a special class of binary trees. Our results have implications on Maker/Breaker games and SAT: We disprove a conjecture of Beck on positional games and construct an unsati...
