Abstract. Shop scheduling problems are known to be notoriously intractable, both in theory and practice. In this paper we give a randomized approximation algorithm for flow shop s...
In this paper, we resolve the smoothed and approximative complexity of low-rank quasi-concave minimization, providing both upper and lower bounds. As an upper bound, we provide th...
This paper extends basic software-testing theory to software components and adds explicit state to the theory. The resulting theory e enough to abstractly model the construction o...
The key to many approaches to reason about pointerbased data structures is the availability of a decision procedure to automatically discharge proof obligations in a theory encomp...
We consider a robust model proposed by Scarf, 1958, for stochastic optimization when only the marginal probabilities of (binary) random variables are given, and the correlation be...
