A NOTE ON ON-LINE RAMSEY NUMBERS FOR QUADRILATERALS
PublicationWe consider on-line Ramsey numbers defined by a game played between two players, Builder and Painter. In each round Builder draws an the edge and Painter colors it either red or blue, as it appears. Builder’s goal is to force Painter to create a monochromatic copy of a fixed graph H in as few rounds as possible. The minimum number of rounds (assuming both players play perfectly) is the on-line Ramsey number \widetilde{r}(H) of...

Collision-free network exploration
PublicationMobile agents start at different nodes of an n-node network. The agents synchronously move along the network edges in a collision-free way, i.e., in no round two agents may occupy the same node. An agent has no knowledge of the number and initial positions of other agents. We are looking for the shortest time required to reach a configuration in which each agent has visited all nodes and returned to its starting location. In...

Partial dominated schedules and minimizing the total completion time of deteriorating jobs
PublicationA problem of scheduling deteriorating jobs on a single processor is considered. The processing time of a job is given by a function pi=ai+bisi, where si is the starting time of the job, ai>=0, bi>=0, for i=1,...,n. Jobs are non-preemptive and independent and there are neither ready times nor deadlines. The goal is to minimize the total weighted completion time. We show how to employ the concept of non-dominated schedules to construct...

Parallel implementation of a Sailing Assistance Application in a Cloud Environment
PublicationSailboat weather routing is a highly complex problem in terms of both the computational time and memory. The reason for this is a large search resulting in a multitude of possible routes and a variety of user preferences. Analysing all possible routes is only feasible for small sailing regions, low-resolution maps, or sailboat movements on a grid. Therefore, various heuristic approaches are often applied, which can find solutions...
