We show that the problem of computing a minimum distortion embedding of a given graph into a path remains NP-hard when the input graph is restricted to a bipartite, cobipartite, o...
We consider the multiple shift scheduling problem modelled as a covering problem. Such problems are characterized by a constraint matrix that has in every column blocks of consecu...
We study a family of problems, called Maximum Solution (Max Sol), where the objective is to maximise a linear goal function over the feasible integer assignments to a set of variab...
We consider the problem of fitting metric data on n points to a path (line) metric. Our objective is to minimize the total additive distortion of this mapping. The total additive ...
We show how to approximate the feasible region of structured convex optimization problems by a family of convex sets with explicitly given and efficient (if the accuracy of the ap...
