The Stacker-Crane Problem (SCP) isa sequencing problem, arising inscheduling and transportation, that consists of nding the minimum cost cycle on a mixed graph with oriented arcs ...
We prove that for any real-valued matrix X ∈ Rm×n , and positive integers r k, there is a subset of r columns of X such that projecting X onto their span gives a r+1 r−k+1 -a...
We address the problem of computing approximate marginals in Gaussian probabilistic models by using mean field and fractional Bethe approximations. We define the Gaussian fracti...
Quadratic Programming (QP) is the well-studied problem of maximizing over {−1, 1} values the quadratic form i=j aijxixj. QP captures many known combinatorial optimization proble...
—In a wireless network with node exclusive spectrum sharing, two popular schedules are maximum weight matching (MWM) schedule and maximum size matching (MSM) schedule. The former...
