Localization in the presence of malicious beacon nodes is an important problem in wireless networks. Although significant progress has been made on this problem, some fundamental theoretical questions still remain unanswered: in the presence of malicious b ...
We revisit simultaneous diophantine approximation, a classical problem from the geometry of numbers which has many applications in algorithms and complexity. The input of the decision version of this problem consists of a rational vector \alpha, an error b ...
Background: Given three signed permutations, an inversion median is a fourth permutation that minimizes the sum of the pairwise inversion distances between it and the three others. This problem is NP-hard as well as hard to approximate. Yet median-based ap ...
We present a polynomial time approximation scheme for the real-time scheduling problem with fixed priorities when resource augmentation is allowed. For a fixed ε > 0, our algorithmcomputes an assignment using atmost (1+ε)·OPT +1 processors in polynomial ti ...
The notion of tree projection provides a natural generalization for various structural decomposition methods, which have been proposed in the literature in order to single out classes of nearly-acyclic (hyper)graphs. In this paper, the mathematical propert ...
We consider the following problem: Given a rational matrix A∈Qm×n and a rational polyhedron Q⊆Rm+p, decide if for all vectors b∈Rm, for which there exists an integral z∈Zp suc ...
A set of phylogenetic trees with overlapping leaf sets is consistent if it can be merged without conflicts into a supertree. In this paper, we study the polynomial-time approximability of two related optimization problems called the maximum rooted triplets ...
A stochastic graph game is played by two players on a game graph with probabilistic transitions. We consider stochastic graph games with w-regular winning conditions specified as parity objectives, and mean-payoff (or limit-average) objectives. These games ...
Starting from the basic image reconstruction problem in discrete tomography some graph theoretical models are proposed. This suggests the study of some variations and extensions of the basic problem. Applications in scheduling and timetabling are described ...
Uncertain information is commonplace in real-world data management scenarios. The ability to represent large sets of possible instances (worlds) while supporting efficient storage and processing is an important challenge in this context. The recent formali ...
