The problem of finding maximum (or minimum) witnesses of the Boolean product of two Boolean matrices (MW for short) has a number of important applications, in particular the all-pairs lowest common ancestor (LCA) prob...

Given a set A of n points in Rd with weight function w : A → R>0, the Fermat distance function is φ(x):= Pa∈A w(a)x−a. A classic problem in facility location dating back to 1643, is to find the Fermat point x∗, ...

In this work, we study the problem of finding the maximum value of a non-negative submodular function subject to a limit on the number of items selected, a ubiquitous problem that appears in many applications, such as...

We study the unsplittable flow on trees (UFT) problem in which we are given a tree with capacities on its edges and a set of tasks, where each task is described by a path and a demand. Our goal is to select a subset o...

Given a connected vertex-weighted graph G, the maximum weight internal spanning tree (MaxwIST) problem asks for a spanning tree of G that maximizes the total weight of internal nodes. This problem is NP-hard and APX-h...

Longest common subsequence (LCS) is a classic and central problem in combinatorial optimization. While LCS admits a quadratic time solution, recent evidence suggests that solving the problem may be impossible in truly...

In the Connected Budgeted maximum Coverage problem (CBC), we are given a collection of subsets S, defined over a ground set X, and an undirected graph G = (V, E), where each node is associated with a set of S. Each se...

Recent years have witnessed a tremendous growth using topological summaries, especially the persistence diagrams (encoding the so-called persistent homology) for analyzing complex shapes. Intuitively, persistent homol...

Approximating the partition function of the ferromagnetic Ising model with general external fields is known to be #BIS-hard in the worst case, even for bounded-degree graphs, and it is widely believed that no polynomi...

In the 2-Dimensional Knapsack problem (2DK) we are given a square knapsack and a collection of n rectangular items with integer sizes and profits. Our goal is to find the most profitable subset of items that can be pa...
