Highly connected orientations from edge-disjoint rigid subgraphs

open access: yesForum of Mathematics, Pi
We give an affirmative answer to a long-standing conjecture of Thomassen, stating that every sufficiently highly connected graph has a k-vertex-connected orientation. We prove that a connectivity of order $O(k^2)$ suffices.

On the Landscape of Combinatorial Optimization Problems [PDF]

open access: yesIEEE Transactions on Evolutionary Computation, 2014
This paper carries out a comparison of the fitness landscape for four classic optimization problems: Max-Sat, graph-coloring, traveling salesman, and quadratic assignment. We have focused on two types of properties, local average properties of the landscape, and properties of the local optima.

Direct Combinatorial Pathway Optimization [PDF]

open access: yesACS Synthetic Biology, 2016
Combinatorial engineering approaches are becoming increasingly popular, yet they are hindered by the lack of specialized techniques for both efficient introduction of sequence variability and assembly of numerous DNA parts, required for the construction of lengthy multigene pathways.

The Power of Human–Algorithm Collaboration in Solving Combinatorial Optimization Problems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
Many combinatorial optimization problems are often considered intractable to solve exactly or by approximation. An example of such a problem is maximum clique, which—under standard assumptions in complexity theory—cannot be solved in sub-exponential time

Universally Balanced Combinatorial Optimization Games

open access: yesGames, 2010
This article surveys studies on universally balanced properties of cooperative games defined in a succinct form. In particular, we focus on combinatorial optimization games in which the values to coalitions are defined through linear optimization ...

Algorithmic aspects of combinatorial discrepancy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
This chapter describes some recent results in combinatorial discrepancy theory motivated by designing efficient polynomial time algorithms for finding low discrepancy colorings. Until recently, the best known results for several combinatorial discrepancy

Guidelines for Pediatric Radiotherapy Simulation: A Report From the Children's Oncology Group Radiation Oncology Discipline

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pediatric radiation therapy presents unique challenges compared to adult treatments, including those of immobilization, potential need for sedation, and the critical importance of accurate, reproducible positioning. Additionally, heightened attention to imaging doses is necessary to minimize long‐term toxicity in survivors.
