We study an extension of the precedence constrained knapsack problem where the knapsack can be filled in multiple periods. This problem is known in the mining industry as the open...

The performance of Branch-and-Bound algorithms is severely impaired by the presence of symmetric optima in a given problem. We describe a method for the automatic detection of for...
We give the first representation-independent hardness results for PAC learning intersections of halfspaces, a central concept class in computational learning theory. Our hardness ...
We show that in the bounded degree model for graph property testing, adaptivity is essential. An algorithm is non-adaptive if it makes all queries to the input before receiving an...
Many classes of graphs where the vertex coloring problem is polynomially solvable are known, the most prominent being the class of perfect graphs. However, the list-coloring proble...
