A separable assignment problem (SAP) is defined by a set of bins and a set of items to pack in each bin; a value, f, for assigning item j to bin i; and a separate packing constraint for each bin—i.e., ...
where for any $F \subseteq V,d(j,F) = \min _{feF} d(j,f)$ . This is a "min-max" or "robust" version of the k-median problem. Note that in contrast to the recent ...
Not long ago, a team of researchers from Stanford and McGill universities broke a 35-year record in computer science by an almost imperceptible margin — four hundredths of a trillionth of a trillionth ...
Geometric optimisation and approximation algorithms form a vibrant research area that intersects computational geometry, combinatorial optimisation and algorithm design. Researchers are dedicated to ...
