In this paper we schedule the travel path of a set of drones across a graph where the nodes need to be visited multiple times at pre-defined points in time. This is an extension of the well-known multiple traveling salesman problem. The…
Nonlinear optimization problems are found at the heart of real-time operations of critical infrastructures. These problems are computationally challenging because they embed complex physical models that exhibit space-time dynamics. We…
The efficient parallel execution of complex computations requires balancing the workload across processors while minimizing the communication between them. This inherent trade-off is often captured by graph partitioning or DAG scheduling…
We give a probabilistic analysis of the unit-demand Euclidean capacitated vehicle routing problem in the random setting, where the input distribution consists of $n$ unit-demand customers modeled as independent, identically distributed…
The orienteering problem is a route optimization problem which consists in finding a simple cycle that maximizes the total collected profit subject to a maximum distance limitation. In the last few decades, the occurrence of this problem in…

We study an incremental network design problem, where in each time period of the planning horizon an arc can be added to the network and a maximum flow problem is solved, and where the objective is to maximize the cumulative flow over the…
In this study, we tackle the problem of finding a maximum \emph{co-3-plex}, which is a subset of vertices of an input graph, inducing a subgraph of maximum degree 2. We focus on the class of chordal graphs. By observing that the graph…
Electric utility companies perform numerous technical interventions every day. Since it is generally not possible to complete all planned interventions within a single day, companies face two objectives: maximizing the total duration of…
We define a graph-based rate optimization problem and consider its computation, which provides a unified approach to the computation of various theoretical limits, including the (conditional) graph entropy, rate-distortion functions and…
The individualization-refinement paradigm provides a strong toolbox for testing isomorphism of two graphs and indeed, the currently fastest implementations of isomorphism solvers all follow this approach. While these solvers are fast in…
Previous works suggested the use of Branch and Bound techniques for finding the optimal allocation in (multi-unit) combinatorial auctions. They remarked that Linear Programming could provide a good upper-bound to the optimal allocation, but…
Computing endomorphism rings of supersingular elliptic curves is an important problem in computational number theory, and it is also closely connected to the security of some of the recently proposed isogeny-based cryptosystems. In this…
We address the Interval Data Min-Max Regret 0-1 Integer Linear Programming problem (MMR-ILP), a variant of the 0-1 Integer Linear Programming problem where the objective function coefficients are uncertain. We solve MMR-ILP using a…
An Eulerian circuit in a directed graph is one of the most fundamental Graph Theory notions. Detecting if a graph $G$ has a unique Eulerian circuit can be done in polynomial time via the BEST theorem by de Bruijn, van Aardenne-Ehrenfest,…
We address the optimal design of a large scale multi-agent system where each agent has discrete and/or continuous decision variables that need to be set so as to optimize the sum of linear local cost functions, in presence of linear local…
In this paper, a new graph partitioning problem is introduced. The depth of each part is constrained, i.e., the node count in the longest path of the corresponding sub-graph is no more than a predetermined positive integer value p. An…

We propose an effective algorithm that enumerates (and actually finds) all 3-edge colorings and Hamiltonian cycles in a cubic graph. The idea is to make a preliminary run that separates the vertices into two types: ``rigid'' (such that the…
