An integer linear program is a problem of the form max{c^T x : Ax=b, x >= 0, x integer}, where A is in Z^(n x m), b in Z^m, and c in Z^n.Solving an integer linear program is NP-hard in general, but there are several assumptions for which it becomes fixed p ...
Weighted flow time is a fundamental and very well-studied objective function in scheduling. In this paper, we study the setting of a single machine with preemptions. The input consists of a set of jobs, characterized by their processing times, release time ...
An integer program (IP) is a problem of the form min{f(x):Ax=b,l≤x≤u,x∈Zn}, where A∈Zm×n, b∈Zm, l,u∈Zn, and f:Zn→Z is a separable convex objective function.
The problem o ...
This paper offers a new algorithm to efficiently optimize scheduling decisions for dial-a-ride problems (DARPs), including problem variants considering electric and autonomous vehicles (e-ADARPs). The scheduling heuristic, based on linear programming theor ...
In this thesis, we give new approximation algorithms for some NP-hard problems arising in resource allocation and network design. As a resource allocation problem, we study the Santa Claus problem (also known as the MaxMin Fair Allocation problem) in which ...
This paper considers vessel scheduling with pilotage and tugging constraints in berthing operations with channel restrictions at seaports. To our knowledge, pilotage and tugging requirements have not been simultaneously considered in the literature. This w ...
We consider the problem of solving integer programs of the form min {c^⊺ x : Ax = b, x ∈ ℤ_{⩾ 0}}, where A is a multistage stochastic matrix in the following sense: the primal treedepth of A is bounded by a parameter d, which means that the columns of A ca ...

We show the Jordan property for regional fundamental groups of klt singularities of fixed dimension. Furthermore, we prove the existence of effective simultaneous index 1 covers for n-dimensional klt singularities. We give an application to the study of lo ...
In the restricted Santa Claus problem we are given resources R and players P. Every resource j is an element of R. has a value v(j) and every player i is an element of P desires a set of resources R(i). We are interested in distributing the resources to pl ...
We consider integer programming problems in standard form max{c(T)x : Ax = b, x >= 0, x is an element of Z(n)} where A is an element of Z(mxn), b is an element of Z(m), and c is an element of Z(n). We show that such an integer program can be solved in time ...
