The Snowblower Problem
Abstract: We introduce the snowblower problem (SBP), a new optimization problem that is closely related to milling problems and to some material-handling problems. The objective in...

A note on the precedence-constrained class sequencing problem
We give a short proof of a result of Tovey [6] on the inapproximability of a scheduling problem known as precedence constrained class sequencing. In addition, we present an approxi...

On Bisubmodular Maximization
Bisubmodularity extends the concept of submodularity to set functions with two arguments. We show how bisubmodular maximization leads to richer value-of-information problems, usin...

Inapproximability of Survivable Networks
In the Survivable Network Design Problem (SNDP) one seeks to find a minimum cost subgraph that satisfies prescribed node-connectivity requirements. We give a novel approximation r...

Semidefinite programming methods for system realization and identification
We describe semidefinite programming methods for system realization and identification. For each of these two applications, a variant of a simple subspace algorithm is presented, i...
