We present lower bounds for the vehicle routing problem (VRP) with and without split deliveries, improving the well known bound of Haimovich and Rinnooy Kan. These bounds are then...
We study the problem of scheduling unit size jobs on n processors connected by a ring. We show a distributed algorithm for this problem with an approximation ratio of 3 2 + √ 2....
Caching approximate values instead of exact values presents an opportunity for performance gains in exchange for decreased precision. To maximize the performance improvement, cach...
Abstract. We present approximation algorithms for almost all variants of the multicriteria traveling salesman problem (TSP), whose performances are independent of the number k of c...
We present a probabilistic algorithm that, given a connected graph G (represented by adjacency lists) of average degree d, with edge weights in the set {1, . . . , w}, and given a ...
