In this paper, we describe Compact-Table (CT), a bitwise algorithm to enforce Generalized Arc Consistency (GAC) on table con- straints. Although this algorithm is the default propagator for table constraints in or-tools and OscaR, two…
The parametric shortest path problem is to find the shortest paths in graph where the edge costs are of the form w_ij+lambda where each w_ij is constant and lambda is a parameter that varies. The problem is to find shortest path trees for…
The {\sc weak 2-linkage} problem for digraphs asks for a given digraph and vertices $s_1,s_2,t_1,t_2$ whether $D$ contains a pair of arc-disjoint paths $P_1,P_2$ such that $P_i$ is an $(s_i,t_i)$-path. This problem is NP-complete for…

We consider the following problem that we call the Shortest Two Disjoint Paths problem: given an undirected graph $G=(V,E)$ with edge weights $w:E \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$, two terminals $s$ and $t$ in $G$, find two internally…
Given two points in the plane, a set of obstacles defined by closed curves, and an integer $k$, does there exist a path between the two designated points intersecting at most $k$ of the obstacles? This is a fundamental and well-studied…
Dual decomposition provides a tractable framework for designing algorithms for finding the most probable (MAP) configuration in graphical models. However, for many real-world inference problems, the typical decomposition has a large…
Classical penalty methods solve a sequence of unconstrained problems that put greater and greater stress on meeting the constraints. In the limit as the penalty constant tends to $\infty$, one recovers the constrained solution. In the exact…

We consider robust shortest path problems, where the aim is to find a path that optimizes the worst-case performance over an uncertainty set containing all relevant scenarios for arc costs. The usual approach for such problems is to assume…
