Given a bipartite graph, the maximum balanced biclique (\textsf{MBB}) problem, discovering a mutually connected while equal-sized disjoint sets with the maximum cardinality, plays a significant role for mining the bipartite graph and has…
An out-(in-)branching B_s^+ (B_s^-) rooted at s in a digraph D is a connected spanning subdigraph of D in which every vertex x != s has precisely one arc entering (leaving) it and s has no arcs entering (leaving) it. We settle the…
The Bin Packing Problem (BPP) is a well-established combinatorial optimization (CO) problem. Since it has many applications in our daily life, e.g. logistics and resource allocation, people are seeking efficient bin packing algorithms. On…
An out-branching $B^+_u$ (in-branching $B^-_u$) in a digraph $D$ is a connected spanning subdigraph of $D$ in which every vertex except the vertex $u$, called the root, has in-degree (out-degree) one. A {\bf good $\mathbf{(u,v)}$-pair} in…
The tree-depth problem can be seen as finding an elimination tree of minimum height for a given input graph $G$. We introduce a bicriteria generalization in which additionally the width of the elimination tree needs to be bounded by some…
A matching of a graph is a subset of edges no two of which share a common vertex, and a maximum matching is a matching of maximum cardinality. In a $b$-matching every vertex $v$ has an associated bound $b_v$, and a maximum $b$-matching is a…
In a disk graph, every vertex corresponds to a disk in $\mathbb{R}^2$ and two vertices are connected by an edge whenever the two corresponding disks intersect. Disk graphs form an important class of geometric intersection graphs, which…
The Vertex Separator Problem for a graph is to find the smallest collection of vertices whose removal breaks the graph into two disconnected subsets that satisfy specified size constraints. In the paper 10.1016/j.ejor.2014.05.042, the…
The BiCluster Editing problem aims at editing a given bipartite graph into a disjoint union of bicliques via a minimum number of edge deletion or addition operations. As a graph-based model for data clustering, the problem aims at a…
In this paper, we develop a new decomposition technique for solving bi-objective linear programming problems. The proposed methodology combines the bi-objective simplex algorithm with Benders decomposition and can be used to obtain a…
Mixed Boolean-Arithmetic (MBA) expressions are frequently used for obfuscation. As they combine arithmetic as well as Boolean operations, neither arithmetic laws nor transformation rules for logical formulas can be applied to suitably…
The aim of this article is to introduce an iterative algorithm for finding a common solution from the set of an equilibrium point for a bifunction and the set of a singularity of an inclusion problem on an Hadamard manifold. We also discuss…
In this paper we propose distributed dual gradient algorithms for linearly constrained separable convex problems and analyze their rate of convergence under different assumptions. Under the strong convexity assumption on the primal…
A comparison is made between bispectral systems and dual isomonodromic deformation equations. A number of examples are given, showing how bispectral systems may be embedded into isomonodromic ones. Sufficiency conditions are given for the…
Bidimensionality is the most common technique to design subexponential-time parameterized algorithms on special classes of graphs, particularly planar graphs. The core engine behind it is a combinatorial lemma of Robertson, Seymour and…
In this article, we discuss an exact algorithm for solving mixed integer concave minimization problems. A piecewise inner-approximation of the concave function is achieved using an auxiliary linear program that leads to a bilevel program,…
Recently, we presented a new Two-Bar Charts Packing Problem (2-BCPP), in which it is necessary to pack two-bar charts (2-BCs) in a unit-height strip of minimum length. The problem is a generalization of the Bin Packing Problem and 2-D…
The maximum graph bisection problem is a well known graph partition problem. The problem has been proven to be NP-hard. In the maximum graph bisection problem it is required that the set of vertices is divided into two partition with equal…
Partitioning a graph into blocks of "roughly equal" weight while cutting only few edges is a fundamental problem in computer science with a wide range of applications. In particular, the problem is a building block in applications that…
