We consider the following generalization of bin packing. Each item is associated with a size bounded by 1, as well as a rejection cost, that an algorithm must pay if it chooses not...
The technique of Finite Markov Chain Imbedding (FMCI) is a classical approach to complex combinatorial problems related to sequences. In order to get efficient algorithms, it is k...
In order to discover interesting patterns and dependencies in data, an approach based on rough set theory can be used. In particular, Dominance-based Rough Set Approach (DRSA) has...

In the partially-ordered knapsack problem (POK) we are given a set N of items and a partial order ≺P on N. Each item has a size and an associated weight. The objective is to pac...
This paper is an enquiry into the interaction between multiple description coding (MDC) and network routing. We are mainly concerned with rate-distortion optimized network flow of...
