In this paper, we study the complexity and (in)approximability of the minimum label vehicle routing problem. Given a simple complete graph G = (V, E) containing a special vertex 0 ...
The Satisfactory Partition problem consists of deciding if a given graph has a partition of its vertex set into two nonempty parts such that each vertex has at least as many neighb...
Consider a directed graph G = (V, E) with n vertices and a root vertex r ∈ V . The DMDST problem for G is one of constructing a spanning tree rooted at r, whose maximal degree is...
The bi-objective ring star problem aims to locate a cycle through a subset of nodes of a graph while optimizing two types of cost. The first criterion is to minimize a ring cost, r...
Various problems in machine learning, databases, and statistics involve pairwise distances among a set of objects. It is often desirable for these distances to satisfy the propert...
