  • Dedicated scheduling of tasks to minimize mean flow time

    This paper investigates the complexity of scheduling biprocessor tasks on dedicated processors to minimize mean flow time. Since the general problem is strongly NP-hard, we assume some restrictions on task lengths and the structure of associated scheduling graphs. Of particular interest are acyclic graphs. In this way we identify a borderline between NP-hard and polynomially solvable special cases.

    Kursy Online
    • K. Pastuszak

    In real-world applications, many important practical problems are NP-hard, therefore it is expedient to consider not only the optimal solutions of NP-hard optimization problems, but also the solutions which are “close” to them (near-optimal solutions). So, we can try to design an approximation algorithm that efficiently produces a near-optimal solution for the NP-hard problem. In many cases we can even design approximation algorithms...

  • The E-Cohomological Conley Index, Cup-Lengths and the Arnold Conjecture on T 2n

    Publikacja

    - ADVANCED NONLINEAR STUDIES - Rok 2019

    We show that the E-cohomological Conley index, that was introduced by the first author recently, has a natural module structure. This yields a new cup-length and a lower bound for the number of critical points of functionals on Hilbert spaces. When applied to the setting of the Arnold conjecture, this paves the way to a short proof on tori, where it was first shown by C. Conley and E. Zehnder in 1983.
