The min knapsack problem appears as a major component in the structure of capacitated covering problems. Its polyhedral relaxations have been extensively studied, leading to strong relaxations for networking, scheduling and facility location problems. ...
Knapsack problems give a simple framework for decision making. A classical example is the min-knapsack problem (MinKnap): choose a subset of items with minimum total cost, whose total profit is above a given threshold. While this model successfully general ...
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 ...
