A new and faster representation for counting integer points in parametric polyhedra
In this paper, we consider the counting function EP (y) = | Py ∩ Z nx | for a parametric polyhedron Py = {x ∈ R nx : Ax ≤ b + By}, where y ∈ R ny . We give a new representation ...
A branch-and-price approach for the nurse rostering problem with multiple units
In this paper, we study the nurse rostering problem that considers multiple units and many soft time-related constraints. An efficient branch and price solution approach that relies on a fas...
Combinatorial algorithms for restricted inverse optimal value problems on minimum spanning tree under weighted l1 norm
We study the restricted inverse optimal value problem on minimum spanning tree under weighted l 1 norm. In a connected edge-weighted network G (V, E, w), we are given a spanning tree T 0, a ...
Maximum shortest path interdiction problem by upgrading edges on trees under hamming distance
We consider the maximum shortest path interdiction problem by upgrading edges on trees under Hamming distance (denoted by (MSPITH)), which has wide applications in transportation network, ...
The sum of root-leaf distance interdiction problem with cardinality constraint by upgrading edges on trees
A network for the transportation of supplies can be described as a rooted tree with a weight of a degree of congestion for each edge. We take the sum of root-leaf distance (SRD) on a rooted...
A New Approximation Algorithm for Minimum-Weight (1,m)–Connected Dominating Set
Consider a graph with nonnegative node weight. A vertex subset is called a CDS (connected dominating set) if every other node has at least one neighbor in the subset and the subset induces a...
Empowering Sleep Health: Unleashing the Potential of Artificial Intelligence and Data Science in Sleep Disorders
