Strong LP formulations for scheduling splittable jobs on unrelated machines

Ola Nils Anders Svensson

A natural extension of the makespan minimization problem on unrelated machines is to allow jobs to be partially processed by different machines while incurring an arbitrary setup time. In this paper we present increasingly stronger LP-relaxations for this ...

A totally unimodular view of structured sparsity

Volkan Cevher, Marwa El Halabi

This paper describes a simple framework for structured sparse recovery based on convex optimization. We show that many interesting structured sparsity models can be naturally represented by linear matrix inequalities on the support of the unknown parameter ...

Clustered planarity testing revisited

Radoslav Fulek, Jan Kyncl, Igor Malinovic

The Hanani--Tutte theorem is a classical result proved for the first time in the 1930s that characterizes planar graphs as graphs that admit a drawing in the plane in which every pair of edges not sharing a vertex cross an even number of times. We generali ...

Molecular Engineering of Functional Materials for Energy and Opto-Electronic Applications

Mohammad Khaja Nazeeruddin, Peng Gao, Sadig Aghazada

This review presents an overview of the dedicated research directions of the Group for Molecular Engineering of Functional Materials (GMF). This includes molecular engineering aspects of sensitizers constructed from ruthenium complexes, organic molecules, ...

Polynomial-Time Computation Of Homotopy Groups And Postnikov Systems In Fixed Dimension

For several computational problems in homotopy theory, we obtain algorithms with running time polynomial in the input size. In particular, for every fixed k >= 2, there is a polynomial-time algorithm that, for a 1-connected topological space X given as a f ...

Combinatorial Algorithm for Restricted Max-Min Fair Allocation

Ola Nils Anders Svensson, Christos Kalaitzis, Chidambaram Annamalai

We study the basic allocation problem of assigning resources to players so as to maximize fairness. This is one of the few natural problems that enjoys the intriguing status of having a better estimation algorithm than approximation algorithm. Indeed, a ce ...

Fixed-Rank Rayleigh Quotient Maximization by an MPSK Sequence

Anastasios Kyrillidis

Certain optimization problems in communication systems, such as limited-feedback constant-envelope beamforming or noncoherent M-ary phase-shift keying (MPSK) sequence detection, result in the maximization of a fixed-rank positive semidefinite quadratic for ...

Majority Logic Representation and Satisfiability

Giovanni De Micheli, Pierre-Emmanuel Julien Marc Gaillardon, Luca Gaetano Amarù

Majority logic is a powerful generalization of common AND/OR logic. Original two-level and multi-level logic networks can use majority operators as primitive connective, in place of AND/ORs. In such a way, Boolean functions have novel means for compact rep ...

Extendability of Continuous Maps Is Undecidable

We consider two basic problems of algebraic topology: the extension problem and the computation of higher homotopy groups, from the point of view of computability and computational complexity. The extension problem is the following: Given topological space ...

Near-Optimal Source Placement for Linear Physical Fields

Martin Vetterli, Juri Ranieri

In real-word applications, signal processing is often used to measure and control a physical field by means of sensors and sources, respectively. An aspect that has been often neglected is the optimization of the sources' locations. In this work, we discus ...
