X Abstract

Min–max and min–max regret criteria are commonly used to define robust solutions. After motivating the use of these criteria, we present general results. Then, we survey complexity results for the min–max and min–max regret versions of some combinatorial optimization problems: shortest path, spanning tree, assignment, min cut, min s – t cut, knapsack. Since most of these problems are NP -hard, we also investigate the approximability of these problems. Furthermore, we present algorithms to solve these problems to optimality.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
