We consider the following generalization of bin packing. Each item is associated with a size bounded by 1, as well as a rejection cost, that an algorithm must pay if it chooses not...
In this paper, we give a lower bound of (n(d-1)/2 ) on the quantum query complexity for finding a fixed point of a discrete Brouwer function over grid [1 : n]d . Our bound is near...
We consider the online version of the maximum vertex disjoint path problem when the underlying network is a tree. In this problem, a sequence of requests arrives in an online fash...
Knuth [14] asked whether the stable matching problem can be generalised to three dimensions i. e., for families containing a man, a woman and a dog. Subsequently, several authors ...
Abstract We consider a variant of the path cover problem, namely, the k-fixedendpoint path cover problem, or kPC for short, on interval graphs. Given a graph G and a subset T of k ...
