Bicriteria Network Design Problems

open access: yes, 1997
We study a general class of bicriteria network design problems. A generic problem in this class is as follows: Given an undirected graph and two minimization objectives (under different cost functions), with a budget specified on the first, find a

Allocation of Indivisible Items With a Common Preference Graph: Minimizing Total Dissatisfaction

open access: yesNetworks, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Allocating indivisible items among a set of agents is a frequently studied discrete optimization problem. In the setting considered in this work, the agents' preferences over the items are assumed to be identical. We consider a very recent measure for the overall quality of an allocation which does not rely on numerical valuations of the items.

Polynomial-Time Constrained Message Passing for Exact MAP Inference on Discrete Models with Global Dependencies

open access: yesMathematics, 2023
Considering the worst-case scenario, the junction-tree algorithm remains the most general solution for exact MAP inference with polynomial run-time guarantees.

Exact and metaheuristic approaches to minimizing makespan in parallel machine scheduling with conflicting jobs

open access: yesInternational Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.
Abstract We address the scheduling conflicting jobs on parallel identical machines problem with makespan minimization, a classical and computationally challenging variant of parallel machine scheduling. We develop and evaluate three distinct solution methodologies: a novel constraint programming (CP) formulation, and two metaheuristics: a multi ...

Optimal Padded Decomposition For Bounded Treewidth Graphs [PDF]

open access: yesTheoretiCS
A $(β,δ,Δ)$-padded decomposition of an edge-weighted graph $G = (V,E,w)$ is a stochastic decomposition into clusters of diameter at most $Δ$ such that for every vertex $v\in V$, the probability that $\rm{ball}_G(v,γΔ)$ is entirely contained in the ...

Crossing Minimization for 1-page and 2-page Drawings of Graphs with Bounded Treewidth

open access: yes, 2014
We investigate crossing minimization for 1-page and 2-page book drawings. We show that computing the 1-page crossing number is fixed-parameter tractable with respect to the number of crossings, that testing 2-page planarity is fixed-parameter tractable ...

Are there any good digraph width measures? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Several different measures for digraph width have appeared in the last few years. However, none of them shares all the "nice" properties of treewidth: First, being \emph{algorithmically useful} i.e.

Recoloring via Modular Decomposition

open access: yesJournal of Graph Theory, Volume 111, Issue 4, Page 113-123, April 2026.
ABSTRACT The reconfiguration graph of the k‐colorings of a graph G, denoted R k ( G ), is the graph whose vertices are the k‐colorings of G and two colorings are adjacent in R k ( G ) if they differ in color on exactly one vertex. A graph G is said to be recolorable if R ℓ ( G ) is connected for all ℓ ≥ χ ( G ) + 1.
