Given a set S = {s1, s2, . . . , sn} of strings each of length m, and an integer L, we study the following two problems. k-Closest Substring problem: find k center strings c1, c2,...
In this paper, we study the procurement problem faced by a buyer who needs to purchase a variety of goods from suppliers applying a so-called total quantity discount policy. This ...

One challenge faced by many Inductive Logic Programming (ILP) systems is poor scalability to problems with large search spaces and many examples. Randomized search methods such as ...
We give an algorithm for solving the exact Shortest Vector Problem in n-dimensional lattices, in any norm, in deterministic 2O(n) time (and space), given poly(n)-sized advice that...
The multi-vehicle covering tour problem is de"ned on a graph G"(<6=, E), where = is a set of vertices that must collectively be covered by up to m vehicles. The probl...
