In the NP-hard Max $c$-Cut problem, one is given an undirected edge-weighted graph $G$ and aims to color the vertices of $G$ with $c$ colors such that the total weight of edges with distinctly colored endpoints is maximal. The case with…

We introduce a novel multivariate approach for solving weighted parameterized problems. In our model, given an instance of size $n$ of a minimization (maximization) problem, and a parameter $W \geq 1$, we seek a solution of weight at most…

The paper deals with finite-state Markov decision processes (MDPs) with integer weights assigned to each state-action pair. New algorithms are presented to classify end components according to their limiting behavior with respect to the…

Minimum Weight Cycle (MWC) is the problem of finding a simple cycle of minimum weight in a graph $G=(V,E)$. This is a fundamental graph problem with classical sequential algorithms that run in $\tilde{O}(n^3)$ and $\tilde{O}(mn)$ time where…

Probabilistic model checking aims to prove whether a Markov decision process (MDP) satisfies a temporal logic specification. The underlying methods rely on an often unrealistic assumption that the MDP is precisely known. Consequently,…

The Mixed-Shelves Picker Routing Problem (MSPRP) is a fundamental challenge in warehouse logistics, where pickers must navigate a mixed-shelves environment to retrieve SKUs efficiently. Traditional heuristics and optimization-based…

The minimum weight matching (MWM) and maximum likelihood decoding (MLD) are two widely used and distinct decoding strategies for quantum error correction. For a given syndrome, the MWM decoder finds the most probable physical error…

Determining the optimal cost function parameters of Model Predictive Control (MPC) to optimize multiple control objectives is a challenging and time-consuming task. Multiobjective Bayesian Optimization (BO) techniques solve this problem by…

We propose a fast, parallel maximum clique algorithm for large sparse graphs that is designed to exploit characteristics of social and information networks. The method exhibits a roughly linear runtime scaling over real-world networks…

Integer programming problems (IPs) are challenging to be solved efficiently due to the NP-hardness, especially for large-scale IPs. To solve this type of IPs, Large neighborhood search (LNS) uses an initial feasible solution and iteratively…

Detecting locally, non-overlapping, near-clique densest subgraphs is a crucial problem for community search in social networks. As a vertex may be involved in multiple overlapped local cliques, detecting locally densest sub-structures…

Large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated remarkable capabilities in code generation and structured reasoning; however, their performance often degrades on complex tasks that require consistent multi-step planning. Recent work has…

In the Minimum Clique Routing Problem on Cycles \textsc{MCRPC} we are given a cycle together with a set of demands (weighted origin-destination pairs) and the goal is to route all the pairs minimizing the maximum weighted clique of the…

In this paper, we propose an efficient semidefinite programming (SDP) approach to worst-case linear discriminant analysis (WLDA). Compared with the traditional LDA, WLDA considers the dimensionality reduction problem from the worst-case…

In a bipartite graph, a subgraph is an $s$-biplex if each vertex of the subgraph is adjacent to all but at most $s$ vertices on the opposite set. The enumeration of $s$-biplexes from a given graph is a fundamental problem in bipartite graph…

Semidefinite programming (SDP) is widely acknowledged as one of the most effective methods for deriving the tightest lower bounds of the optimal power flow (OPF) problems. In this paper, an enhanced semidefinite relaxation model that…

We study the restricted inverse optimal value problem on linear programming under weighted $l_1$ norm (RIOVLP $_1$). Given a linear programming problem $LP_c: \min \{cx|Ax=b,x\geq 0\}$ with a feasible solution $x^0$ and a value $K$, we aim…

Support vector machines (SVMs) are well-studied supervised learning models for binary classification. In many applications, large amounts of samples can be cheaply and easily obtained. What is often a costly and error-prone process is to…

In this paper, we apply the Rank-Sparsity Matrix Decomposition to the planted Maximum Quasi-Clique Problem (MQCP). This problem has the planted Maximum Clique Problem (MCP) as a special case. The maximum clique problem is NP-hard. A…

The Maximum Weight Independent Set of Polygons problem is a fundamental problem in computational geometry. Given a set of weighted polygons in the 2-dimensional plane, the goal is to find a set of pairwise non-overlapping polygons with…
