We present a polynomial time approximation scheme (PTAS) for the minimum feedback arc set problem on tournaments. A simple weighted generalization gives a PTAS for KemenyYoung ran...
Let > 0 be a constant. For any edge-weighted planar graph G and a subset S of nodes of G, there is a subgraph H of G of weight a constant times that of the minimum Steiner tree...
We initiate a novel study of clustering problems. Rather than specifying an explicit objective function to optimize, our framework allows the user of clustering algorithm to speci...
In this paper we provide a general method to derive productform solutions for stochastic models. We take inspiration from the Reversed Compound Agent Theorem [14] and we provide a...
Recently, it has been proven that evolutionary algorithms produce good results for a wide range of combinatorial optimization problems. Some of the considered problems are tackled...
