We study several cost coloring problems, where we are given a graph and a cost function on the independent sets and are to find a coloring that minimizes the function costs of the...
We study the problem of covering a set of points or polyhedra in 3 with two axis-aligned boxes in order to minimize a function of the measures of the two boxes, such as the sum or...

An optimization problem that naturally arises in the study of swarm robotics is the Freeze-Tag Problem (FTP) of how to awaken a set of "asleep" robots, by having an awak...
We address the problem of approximate string matching in two dimensions, that is, to nd a pattern of size m m in a text of size n n with at most k errors (substitutions, insertions...
We investigate the complexity and approximability of some location problems when two distance values are specified for each pair of potential sites. These problems involve the se...
