We consider mixed-integer sets described by system of linear inequalities in which the constraint matrix A is totally unimodular; the right-hand side is arbitrary vector; and a subset of the variables is required to be integer. We show that the problem of ...
In periodic scheduling jobs arrive regularly and have to be executed on one or several machines or processors. An enormous amount of literature has been published on this topic, e.g. the founding work of Liu & Layland [LL73] is among the top cited computer ...
A long-standing open question in information theory is to characterize the unicast capacity of a wireless relay network. The difficulty arises due to the complex signal interactions induced in the network, since the wireless channel inherently broadcasts t ...
In the origin detection problem an algorithm is given a set S of documents, ordered by creation time, and a query document D. It needs to output for every consecutive sequence of k alphanumeric terms in D the earliest document in S in which the sequence ap ...
The study of genomic inversions (or reversals) has been a mainstay of computational genomics for nearly 20 years. After the initial breakthrough of Hannenhalli and Pevzner, who gave the first polynomial-time algorithm for sorting signed permutations by inv ...
Tucker's lemma states that if we triangulate the unit disc centered at the origin and color the vertices with {1, 1,2, 2} in an antipodal way (if vertical bar z vertical bar = 1, then the sum of the colors of z and -z is zero), then there must be an edge F ...

This paper considers a production planning problem in disassembly systems, which is the problem of determining the quantity and timing of disassembling end-of-use/life products in order to satisfy the demand of their parts or components over a planning hor ...
For more than 35 years, the fastest known method for integer multiplication has been the Schonhage-Strassen algorithm running in time O(n log n log log n). Under certain restrictive conditions, there is a corresponding Omega(n log n) lower bound. All this ...
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 ...
The generalized hypertree width GHW(H) of a hypergraph H is a measure of its cyclicity. Classes of conjunctive queries or constraint satisfaction problems whose associated hypergraphs have bounded GHW are known to be solvable in polynomial time. However, i ...
