Complexity of finding single source paths with capacity constraints and length constraints
Let $G=(V,A)$ be a directed graph with distinguished vertex $s\in V$ and let $c:A\rightarrow{\mathbb N}$ denote arc capacities. For any $t\in V,t\not=s$ we are given two numbers: $C_{t},L_{t}$. Let $...

Hardness of an optimization problem when some variables are fixed
Given a general optimization problem, I would like to know what we can say about the hardness of the problem when a subset of its variables are fixed.
With the two (related) examples, it is clear that ...

Can we say this nonlinear integer programming problem is NP-hard?
I was wondering if the following nonlinear integer programming problem is NP-hard or not.
$$\max_{x_i \in \{0,1\}} \frac{\sum_{i=1}^{n}a_i x_i}{\sqrt{\sum_{i=1}^{n}b_i x_i}}$$
such that $\sum_{i=1}^{n}...

Traveling salesperson problem algorithm [closed]
I was wondering something, let's say in a symmetric distance matrix of a sample of TSP, there was a sure algorithm that could remove between 30% to 80% of the values (distances) that wouldn't ...

cut a path from DAG that has minimal conductance
Given a directed acyclic graph $G=(V,E)$, a source node $s$ and a sink node $t$, we want to find a path $P$ from $s$ to $t$ such that if we separate all the nodes in $V$ to two parts $P$ (all the ...

Transforming an optimization problem to maxmin formulation
Given $N=mn$ real numbers $a_i$, we seek to partition them into $n$ subsets $S_j$ ($1\le j\le n$), each containing $m$ numbers, so as to maximize $\prod_{j=1}^n \sum_{a_i\in S_j} a_i$. My questions ...

Proof for the NP-hardness of the Max-3-DCC Problem
The Max-3-DCC is the variant of vertex cycle cover problem where each of the vertex disjoint oriented cycles consists of at least 3 arcs and every vertex belongs to exactly one of those cycles; ...
