This paper introduces an effective memetic algorithm for the linear ordering problem with cumulative costs. The proposed algorithm combines an order-based recombination operator with an improved forward-backward local search procedure and…
Given a set of points in $d$-dimensional space, an explainable clustering is one where the clusters are specified by a tree of axis-aligned threshold cuts. Dasgupta et al. (ICML 2020) posed the question of the price of explainability: the…
Motivated by an application in computational topology, we consider a novel variant of the problem of efficiently maintaining dynamic rooted trees. This variant requires merging two paths in a single operation. In contrast to the standard…
A maximum weighted matching for bipartite graphs $G=(A \cup B,E)$ can be found by using the algorithm of Edmonds and Karp with a Fibonacci Heap and a modified Dijkstra in $O(nm + n^2 \log{n})$ time where n is the number of nodes and m the…
An adaptive regularization algorithm for unconstrained nonconvex optimization is presented in which the objective function is never evaluated, but only derivatives are used. This algorithm belongs to the class of adaptive regularization…
We consider search problems with nonobligatory inspection and single-item or combinatorial selection. A decision maker is presented with a number of items, each of which contains an unknown price, and can pay an inspection cost to observe…
An algorithm is presented which produces the minimum cost bipartite matching between two sets of M points each, where the cost of matching two points is proportional to the minimum distance by which a particle could reach one point from the…

This paper addresses optimal feedback selection for generic arbitrary pole placement of structured systems when each feedback edge is associated with a cost. Given a structured system and a feedback cost matrix, our aim is to find a…
A new method for constructing minimum-redundancy binary prefix codes is described. Our method does not explicitly build a Huffman tree; instead it uses a property of optimal prefix codes to compute the codeword lengths corresponding to the…
In the Min-cost Perfect Matching with Delays (MPMD) problem, 2 m requests arrive over time at points of a metric space. An online algorithm has to connect these requests in pairs, but a decision to match may be postponed till a more…
Re-Pair is a grammar compression scheme with favorably good compression rates. The computation of Re-Pair comes with the cost of maintaining large frequency tables, which makes it hard to compute Re-Pair on large scale data sets. As a…
We provide a monotone non increasing sequence of upper bounds $f^H_k$ ($k\ge 1$) converging to the global minimum of a polynomial $f$ on simple sets like the unit hypercube. The novelty with respect to the converging sequence of upper…
State-of-the-art parallel sorting algorithms for distributed-memory architectures are based on computing a balanced partitioning via sampling and histogramming. By finding samples that partition the sorted keys into evenly-sized chunks,…

We investigate the number of maximal independent set queries required to reconstruct the edges of a hidden graph. We show that randomised adaptive algorithms need at least $\Omega(\Delta^2 \log(n / \Delta) / \log \Delta)$ queries to…
In this work we present strategies for (optimal) measurement selection in model-based sequential diagnosis. In particular, assuming a set of leading diagnoses being given, we show how queries (sets of measurements) can be computed and…
