This paper's focus is the following family of problems, denoted k-ECSS, where k denotes a positive integer: given a graph (V, E) and costs for each edge, find a minimum-cost subset F of E such that (V, F) is k-edge-connected. For k=1 it is the spanning tre ...

The longevity of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is a major issue that impacts the application of such networks. While communication protocols are striving to save energy by acting on sensor nodes, recent results show that network lifetime can be prolonged ...
This problem corresponds to refueling locomotives at different station yards during the course of its journey. Locomotive tanks have a fixed fuel capacity and prices of fuel vary across yards. In addition, there is a fixed cost for hiring a refueling truck ...
We present a simple randomized algorithmic framework for connected facility location problems. The basic idea is as follows: We run a black-box approximation algorithm for the unconnected facility location problem, randomly sample the clients, and open the ...
We consider an extension of integer linear arithmetic with a star operator that takes closure under vector addition of the set of solutions of linear arithmetic subformula. We show that the satisfiability problem for this language is in NP (and therefore N ...
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 ...

We consider the problem of correlated data gathering by a network with a sink node and a tree based communication structure, where the goal is to minimize the total trans- mission cost of transporting the information collected by the nodes, to the sink nod ...
We report on the solution of a real-time scheduling problem that arises in the design of software-based operation control of aircraft. A set of tasks has to be distributed on a minimum number of machines and offsets of the tasks have to be computed. The ta ...

We consider an extension of integer linear arithmetic with a “star” operator takes closure under vector addition of the solution set of a linear arithmetic subformula. We show that the satisfiability problem for this extended language remains in NP (and th ...
