Differential approximation of NP-hard problems with equal size feasible solutions

Jérôme Monnot (2010)

RAIRO - Operations Research

Similarity:

In this paper, we focus on some specific optimization problems from graph theory, those for which all feasible solutions have an equal size that depends on the instance size. Once having provided a formal definition of this class of problems, we try to extract some of its basic properties; most of these are deduced from the equivalence, under differential approximation, between two versions of a problem  which only differ on a linear transformation of their objective functions. This...

A note on a two dimensional knapsack problem with unloading constraints

Jefferson Luiz Moisés da Silveira, Eduardo Candido Xavier, Flávio Keidi Miyazawa (2013)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications - Informatique Théorique et Applications

Similarity:

In this paper we address the two-dimensional knapsack problem with unloading constraints: we have a bin , and a list of rectangular items, each item with a class value in {1,...,}. The problem is to pack a subset of into , maximizing the total profit of packed items, where the packing must satisfy the unloading constraint: while removing one item , items with higher class values can not block . We present a (4 + )-approximation algorithm when the bin is a square. We also present (3 + )-approximation...

Linearized plastic plate models as Γ-limits of 3D finite elastoplasticity

Elisa Davoli (2014)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

The subject of this paper is the rigorous derivation of reduced models for a thin plate by means of -convergence, in the framework of finite plasticity. Denoting by the thickness of the plate, we analyse the case where the scaling factor of the elasto-plastic energy per unit volume is of order , with ≥ 3. According to the value of , partially or fully linearized models are deduced, which correspond, in the absence of plastic deformation, to the Von Kármán plate theory...

Variational approximation of a functional of Mumford–Shah type in codimension higher than one

Francesco Ghiraldin (2014)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

In this paper we consider a new kind of Mumford–Shah functional () for maps : ℝ → ℝ with  ≥ . The most important novelty is that the energy features a singular set of codimension greater than one, defined through the theory of distributional jacobians. After recalling the basic definitions and some well established results, we prove an approximation property for the energy ()  −convergence, in the same spirit of the work by Ambrosio and Tortorelli [L....
