Solving a "Hard" Problem to Approximate an "Easy" One: Heuristics for Maximum Matchings and Maximum Traveling Salesman Problems
Sandor P. Fekete, Henk Meijer, Andre Rohe +1
We consider geometric instances of the Maximum Weighted Matching Problem (MWMP) and the Maximum Traveling Salesman Problem (MTSP) with up to 3,000,000 vertices. Making use of a geo…
Traveling Salesmen in the Presence of Competition
Sandor P. Fekete, Rudolf Fleischer, Aviezri Fraenkel +1
We propose the ``Competing Salesmen Problem'' (CSP), a 2-player competitive version of the classical Traveling Salesman Problem. This problem arises when considering two competing…
Exact analytic solution for the generalized Lyapunov exponent of the 2-dimensional Anderson localization
V. N. Kuzovkov, W. von Niessen, V. Kashcheyevs +1
The Anderson localization problem in one and two dimensions is solved analytically via the calculation of the generalized Lyapunov exponents. This is achieved by making use of sign…
Characterizing Matchings as the Intersection of Matroids
Sandor P. Fekete, Robert T. Firla, Bianca Spille
This paper deals with the problem of representing the matching independence system in a graph as the intersection of finitely many matroids. After characterizing the graphs for whi…
An Algorithmic Study of Manufacturing Paperclips and Other Folded Structures
Esther M. Arkin, Sandor P. Fekete, Joseph S. B. Mitchell
We study algorithmic aspects of bending wires and sheet metal into a specified structure. Problems of this type are closely related to the question of deciding whether a simple non…
