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 study the problem of navigating through a database of similar objects using comparisons under heterogeneous demand, a problem strongly related to small-world network design. We show that, under heterogeneous demand, the small-world network design proble ...
In this paper, we settle the open complexity status of interval constrained coloring with a fixed number of colors. We prove that the problem is already NP-complete if the number of different colors is 3. Previously, it has only been known that it is NP-co ...

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 ...

We analyze a short-term revenue optimization problem that involves the optimal targeting of customers for a promotion in which a finite number of perishable items are sold on a last-minute offer. The goal is to select the subset of customers to whom the of ...

Using a finite element (FE) model of the electrical machine in a grid solver enables us to take the machine nonlinearities into account with great precision in the simulation of a complete system. Three methods are usually used for linking the grid and FE ...

The main focus of this paper is a pair of new approximation algorithms for certain integer programs. First, for covering integer programs {min cx:Ax≥b,0≤x≤d} where A has at most k nonzeroes per row, we give a k-approximation algorithm. (We assume A,b,c,d a ...
A well studied special case of bin packing is the 3-partition problem, where n items of size > 1/4 have to be packed in a minimum number of bins of capacity one. The famous Karmarkar-Karp algorithm transforms a fractional solution of a suitable LP relaxati ...

We consider the problem of testing whether the maximum integrality gap of a family of integer programs in standard form is bounded by a given constant. This can be viewed as a generalization of the integer rounding property, which can be tested in polynomi ...
Already in 1966, Graham showed that a simple procedure called list scheduling yields a 2-approximation algorithm for the central problem of scheduling precedence constrained jobs on identical machines to minimize makespan. Till this date it has remained th ...
