New Results in the Theory of Linear and Integer Programming

Nicolai Hähnle

The polynomial Hirsch conjecture states that the vertex-edge diameter of a d-dimensional polyhedron with n facets is bounded by a polynomial in d and n. For the special case where the polyhedron is defined as the set of points satisfying a system Ax ≤ b of ...

Approximation Algorithms for Modern Multi-Processor Scheduling Problems

Martin Niemeier

This thesis is devoted to the design and analysis of algorithms for scheduling problems. These problems are ubiquitous in the modern world. Examples include the optimization of local transportation, managing access to concurrent resources like runways at a ...

Polynomial Approximations for Continuous Linear Programs

Daniel Kuhn

Continuous linear programs have attracted considerable interest due to their potential for modeling manufacturing, scheduling, and routing problems. While efficient simplex-type algorithms have been developed for separated continuous linear programs, crude ...

A transformable tensegrity-ring footbridge

Ian Smith, Landolf-Giosef-Anastasios Rhode-Barbarigos, René Motro

Tensegrity structures are spatial reticulated structures composed of cables and struts. A tension-compression equilibrium leads to lightweight systems that change shape through length changes in their members. Active members thus control several degrees of ...

Santa Claus schedules jobs on unrelated machines

Ola Nils Anders Svensson

One of the classic results in scheduling theory is the 2-approximation algorithm by Lenstra, Shmoys, and Tardos for the problem of scheduling jobs to minimize makespan on unrelated machines, i.e., job j requires time p ij if processed on machine i. More th ...

Container Terminal Management

Ilaria Vacca

This thesis deals with models and methods for large scale optimization problems; in particular, we focus on decision problems arising in the context of seaport container terminals for the efficient management of terminal operations. Large-scale optimizatio ...

Covering Cubes and the Closest Vector Problem

Friedrich Eisenbrand, Martin Niemeier, Nicolai Hähnle

We provide the currently fastest randomized (1+epsilon)-approximation algorithm for the closest vector problem in the infinity-norm. The running time of our method depends on the dimension n and the approximation guarantee epsilon by 2^(O(n))(log(1/epsilon ...

A 3/2-Approximation Algorithm for Rate-Monotonic Multiprocessor Scheduling of Implicit-Deadline Tasks

Thomas Rothvoss

We present a new approximation algorithm for rate-monotonic multiprocessor scheduling of periodic tasks with implicit deadlines. We prove that for an arbitrary parameter k it yields solutions with at most (3/2 + 1/k)*OPT+9k many processors, thus it gives a ...

Approximating Linear Threshold Predicates

Ola Nils Anders Svensson, Mahdi Cheraghchi Bashi Astaneh

We study constraint satisfaction problems on the domain {-1,1}, where the given constraints are homogeneous linear threshold predicates. That is, predicates of the form sgn(w_1 x_1 + ... + w_n x_n) for some positive integer weights w_1, ..., w_n. Despite t ...
