The Travelling Salesman Problem (TSP) is a well known and challenging combinatorial optimisation problem. Its computational intractability has attracted a number of heuristic approaches to generate satisfactory, if not optimal, candidate…

The on-line shortest path problem is considered under various models of partial monitoring. Given a weighted directed acyclic graph whose edge weights can change in an arbitrary (adversarial) way, a decision maker has to choose in each…

In the coordinated motion planning problem, we are given a graph together with the starting and destination vertices of $k$ robots. At each time step, any subset of robots may move, each traversing an edge of the graph, provided that no two…

We study the capacitated vehicle routing problem in graphic metrics (graphic CVRP). Our main contribution is a new lower bound on the cost of an optimal solution. For graphic metrics, this lower bound is tight and significantly stronger…

Previous methods that predict system-wide travel time, predominantly grounded in graph neural networks, remain limited to typical and recurring demand patterns. While they successfully predict future congestion following daily commute, they…

The NP-hard graphical traveling salesman problem (GTSP) is to find a closed walk of total minimum weight that visits each vertex in an undirected edge-weighted and not necessarily complete graph. We present a problem kernel with…

It is a challenging task for ground robots to autonomously navigate in harsh environments due to the presence of non-trivial obstacles and uneven terrain. This requires trajectory planning that balances safety and efficiency. The primary…

Finding a Steiner strongly $k$-arc-connected orientation is particularly relevant in network design and reliability, as it guarantees robust communication between a designated set of critical nodes. Kir\'aly and Lau (FOCS 2006) introduced a…

We consider a classic search problem first proposed by S. Gal in which a Searcher randomizes between unit speed paths on a network, aiming to find a hidden point in minimal expected time in the worst case. This can be viewed as a zero-sum…

We study the Travelling Salesman Problem (TSP) on the metric completion of cubic and subcubic graphs, which is known to be NP-hard. The problem is of interest because of its relation to the famous 4/3 conjecture for metric TSP, which says…

A natural variant of the classical online $k$-server problem is the Weighted $k$-server problem, where the cost of moving a server is its weight times the distance through which it moves. Despite its apparent simplicity, the weighted…

Evolutionary algorithms have been applied to a wide range of stochastic problems. Motivated by real-world problems where constraint violations have disruptive effects, this paper considers the chance-constrained knapsack problem (CCKP)…

We consider an optimization problem posed by an actual newspaper company, which consists of computing a minimum length route for a delivery truck, such that the driver only stops at street crossings, each time delivering copies to all…

This paper considers a Min-Max Multiple Traveling Salesman Problem (MTSP), where the goal is to find a set of tours, one for each agent, to collectively visit all the cities while minimizing the length of the longest tour. Though MTSP has…

Time-Dependent Constrained Path Optimization (TD-CPO) takes the following input: (i) time-dependent (TD) road network, (ii) source ($s$), (iii) destination ($d$), (iv) departure time ($t$) and, (v) budget ($\mathcal{B}$). In TD graph, each…

Most transportation networks are inherently temporal: Connections (e.g. flights, train runs) are only available at certain, scheduled times. When transporting passengers or commodities, this fact must be considered for the the planning of…

The logic-constrained shortest path problem (LCSPP) combines a one-to-one shortest path problem with satisfiability constraints imposed on the routing graph. This setting arises in flight planning, where air traffic control (ATC)…

The Hamiltonian cycle problem (HCP), which is an NP-complete problem, consists of having a graph G with n nodes and m edges and finding the path that connects each node exactly once. In this paper we compare some algorithms to solve a…

In 2005 Kumar studied the Restricted Disjunctive Temporal Problem (RDTP), a restricted but very expressive class of disjunctive temporal problems (DTPs). It was shown that that RDTPs are solvable in deterministic strongly-polynomial time by…

The online knapsack problem is a classic online resource allocation problem in networking and operations research. Its basic version studies how to pack online arriving items of different sizes and values into a capacity-limited knapsack.…
