Graph Chatbot

Chattez avec Graph Search

Posez n’importe quelle question sur les cours, conférences, exercices, recherches, actualités, etc. de l’EPFL ou essayez les exemples de questions ci-dessous.

AVERTISSEMENT : Le chatbot Graph n'est pas programmé pour fournir des réponses explicites ou catégoriques à vos questions. Il transforme plutôt vos questions en demandes API qui sont distribuées aux différents services informatiques officiellement administrés par l'EPFL. Son but est uniquement de collecter et de recommander des références pertinentes à des contenus que vous pouvez explorer pour vous aider à répondre à vos questions.

Bin Packing via Discrepancy of Permutations

Friedrich Eisenbrand, Thomas Rothvoss, Doemoetoer Palvoelgyi

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 ...

Testing additive integrality gaps

Friedrich Eisenbrand, Gennady Shmonin

We consider the problem of testing whether the maximum additive 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 ...

The School Bus Problem on Trees

Laura Sanità, Adrian Aloysius Bock

The School Bus Problem is an NP-hard vehicle routing problem in which the goal is to route buses that transport children to a school such that for each child, the distance travelled on the bus does not exceed the shortest distance from the child's home to ...

Approximating k-median via pseudo-approximation

Ola Nils Anders Svensson

We present a novel approximation algorithm for k-median that achieves an approximation guarantee of 1 + √3 + ε, improving upon the decade-old ratio of 3+ε. Our approach is based on two components, each of which, we believe, is of independent interest. Firs ...

Large simplices determined by finite point sets

János Pach, Filip Moric

Given a set P of n points in ℝd, let d1 > d2 >...denote all distinct inter-point distances generated by point pairs in P. It was shown by Schur, Martini, Perles, and Kupitz that there is at most oned-dimensional regular simplex of edge length d1 whos ...

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 ...

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 t ...

Quasi-polynomial Local Search for Restricted Max-Min Fair Allocation

Ola Nils Anders Svensson, Lukas Polacek

The restricted max-min fair allocation problem (also known as the restricted Santa Claus problem) is one of few problems that enjoys the intriguing status of having a better estimation algorithm than approximation algorithm. Indeed, Asadpour et al. [1] pro ...

Hardness of Vertex Deletion and Project Scheduling

Ola Nils Anders Svensson

Assuming the Unique Games Conjecture, we show strong inapproximability results for two natural vertex deletion problems on directed graphs: for any integer k ≥ 2 and arbitrary small ε > 0, the Feedback Vertex Set problem and the DAG Vertex Deletion problem ...

d-Transversals of stable sets and vertex covers in weighted bipartite graphs

Dominique de Werra, Bernard Ries

Let G=(V,E)G=(V,E) be a graph in which every vertex v∈Vv∈V has a weight w(v)⩾0w(v)⩾0 and a cost c(v)⩾0c(v)⩾0. Let SGSG be the family of all maximum-weight stable sets in G . For any integer d⩾0d⩾0, a minimum d-transversal in the graph G with respect to SGS ...
