The explanation of the results is a key point of automatic problem solvers. CBR systems solve a new problem by assessing its similarity with already solved cases and they commonly ...
We consider the problem of designing mechanisms for online problems in which agents arrive over time and the mechanism is unaware of the agent until the agent announces her arriva...
In this paper, we consider variants of the traveling salesman problem with precedence constraints. We characterize hard input instances for Christofides' algorithm and Hoogeve...
Various forms of multicut problems are of great importance in the area of network design. In general, these problems are intractable. However, several parameters have been identifi...
In this paper, we study a Steiner tree related problem called “Terminal Steiner Tree with Bounded Edge Length”: given a set of terminal points P in a plane, one is asked to ...
