On the theta number of powers of cycle graphs [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
We give a closed formula for Lovasz theta number of the powers of cycle graphs and of their complements, the circular complete graphs. As a consequence, we establish that the circular chromatic number of a circular perfect graph is computable in ...

THE GROTHENDIECK CONSTANT IS STRICTLY SMALLER THAN KRIVINE’S BOUND

open access: yesForum of Mathematics, Pi, 2013
The (real) Grothendieck constant ${K}_{G} $ is the infimum over those $K\in (0, \infty )$ such that for every $m, n\in \mathbb{N} $ and every $m\times n$ real matrix $({a}_{ij} )$ we have $$\begin{eqnarray*}\displaystyle \max _{\{ x_{i}\} _{i= 1}^{m} , \{

Column generation algorithms for bi-objective combinatorial optimization problems with a min–max objective

open access: yesEURO Journal on Computational Optimization, 2018
Many practical combinatorial optimization problems can be described by integer linear programs having an exponential number of variables, and they are efficiently solved by column generation algorithms.

The new FIFA rules are hard: Complexity aspects of sports competitions [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
Consider a soccer competition among various teams playing against each other in pairs (matches) according to a previously determined schedule. At some stage of the competition one may ask whether a particular team still has a (theoretical) chance to win ...

Uncontrolled inexact information within bundle methods

open access: yesEURO Journal on Computational Optimization, 2017
We consider convex non-smooth optimization problems where additional information with uncontrolled accuracy is readily available. It is often the case when the objective function is itself the output of an optimization solver, as for large-scale energy ...

The minimum cost multicommodity flow problem in dynamic networks and an algorithm for its solving [PDF]

open access: yesComputer Science Journal of Moldova, 2005
The dynamic version of the minimum cost multicommodity flow problem that generalizes the static minimum cost multicommodity flow problem is formulated and studied.

A Metaheuristic Approach to Solving the Generalized Vertex Cover Problem [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
AMS Subj. Classification: 90C27, 05C85, 90C59The topic is related to solving the generalized vertex cover problem (GVCP) by genetic algorithm. The problem is NP-hard as a generalization of well-known vertex cover problem which was one of the first problems

Evaluating performance of image segmentation criteria and techniques

open access: yesEURO Journal on Computational Optimization, 2013
The image segmentation problem is to delineate, or segment, a salient feature in an image. As such, this is a bipartition problem with the goal of separating the foreground from the background. An NP-hard optimization problem, the Normalized Cut problem,

Approximating the Minimum Equivalent Digraph

open access: yes, 2002
The MEG (minimum equivalent graph) problem is, given a directed graph, to find a small subset of the edges that maintains all reachability relations between nodes. The problem is NP-hard.
