The aim of this work is to present a method for rounding quadratically converging algorithms that improves their performance. This method is able to reduce significantly the numbe...
This paper considers the break minimization problem in sports timetabling. The problem is to find, under a given timetable of a round-robin tournament, a home-away assignment that...
The common belief is that localized broadcast algorithms are not able to guarantee both full delivery and a good bound on the number of transmissions. In this paper, we propose the...
We consider adding k shortcut edges (i.e. edges of small fixed length δ ≥ 0) to a graph so as to minimize the weighted average shortest path distance over all pairs of vertices...
Abstract— We present a systematic method for model reduction of a class of input-quantized systems in the max-plus algebra. We consider a generalization of the flow shop with ...
