We consider the problem of maximizing the minimum load for machines that are controlled by selfish agents, who are only interested in maximizing their own profit. Unlike the class...
Abstract. Approximate dynamic programming offers a new modeling and algorithmic strategy for complex problems such as rail operations. Problems in rail operations are often modeled...
The spatio-temporal information of a video object is important for content-based video retrieval. In this paper the spatio-temporal information of a video object, such as the velo...
A unit disk graph is the intersection graph of unit disks in the euclidean plane. We present a polynomial-time approximation scheme for the maximum weight independent set problem i...
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...
