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...

On the product of balanced sequences

Antonio Restivo, Giovanna Rosone (2012)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications - Informatique Théorique et Applications

Similarity:

The product  =  ⊗  of two sequences and is a naturally defined sequence on the alphabet of pairs of symbols. Here, we study when the product of two balanced sequences is balanced too. In the case and are binary sequences, we prove, as a main result, that, if such a product is balanced and () = 4, then is an ultimately periodic sequence of a very special form. The case of arbitrary alphabets is approached in the last section. The partial results obtained and the problems proposed...

On synchronized sequences and their separators

Arturo Carpi, Cristiano Maggi (2010)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications

Similarity:

We introduce the notion of a -synchronized sequence, where is an integer larger than 1. Roughly speaking, a sequence of natural numbers is said to be -synchronized if its graph is represented, in base , by a right synchronized rational relation. This is an intermediate notion between -automatic and -regular sequences. Indeed, we show that the class of -automatic sequences is equal to the class of bounded -synchronized sequences and that the class of -synchronized sequences...

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....

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...

Pointwise constrained radially increasing minimizers in the quasi-scalar calculus of variations

Luís Balsa Bicho, António Ornelas (2014)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

We prove of vector minimizers () =  (||) to multiple integrals ∫ ((), |()|)  on a  ⊂ ℝ, among the Sobolev functions (·) in + (, ℝ), using a  : ℝ×ℝ → [0,∞] with (·) and . Besides such basic hypotheses, (·,·) is assumed to satisfy also...

Hereditary properties of words

József Balogh, Béla Bollobás (2010)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications

Similarity:

Let be a hereditary property of words, , an infinite class of finite words such that every subword (block) of a word belonging to is also in . Extending the classical Morse-Hedlund theorem, we show that either contains at least words of length for every  or, for some , it contains at most words of length for every . More importantly, we prove the following quantitative extension of this result: if has words of length then, for every , it contains at most ⌈( + 1)/2⌉⌈( + 1)/2⌈...
