We discuss a problem of handling resource reservations. The resource can be reserved for some time, it can be freed or it can be queried what is the largest amount of reserved resource during a time interval. We show that the problem has a lower bound of $Omega(log n)$ per operation on average and we give a matching upper bound algorithm. Our solution also solves a dynamic version of the related problems of a prefix sum and a partial sum.

Robust network design refers to a class of optimization problems that occur when designing networks to efficiently handle variable demands. The notion of hierarchical hubbing was introduced (in the narrow context of a specific robust network design q
uestion), by Olver and Shepherd [2010]. Hierarchical hubbing allows for routings with a multiplicity of hubs which are connected to the terminals and to each other in a treelike fashion. Recently, Frechette et al. [2013] explored this notion much more generally, focusing on its applicability to an extension of the well-studied hose model that allows for upper bounds on individual point-to-point demands. In this paper, we consider hierarchical hubbing in the context of a previously studied (and extremely natural) generalization of the hose model, and prove that the optimal hierarchical hubbing solution can be found efficiently. This result is relevant to a recently proposed generalization of the VPN Conjecture.
In this paper, we first remodel the line coverage as a 1D discrete problem with co-linear targets. Then, an order-based greedy algorithm, called OGA, is proposed to solve the problem optimally. It will be shown that the existing order in the 1D model
ing, and especially the resulted Markov property of the selected sensors can help design greedy algorithms such as OGA. These algorithms demonstrate optimal/efficient performance and have lower complexity compared to the state-of-the-art. Furthermore, it is demonstrated that the conventional continuous line coverage problem can be converted to an equivalent discrete problem and solved optimally by OGA. Next, we formulate the well-known weak barrier coverage problem as an instance of the continuous line coverage problem (i.e. a 1D problem) as opposed to the conventional 2D graph-based models. We demonstrate that the equivalent discrete version of this problem can be solved optimally and faster than the state-of-the-art methods using an extended version of OGA, called K-OGA. Moreover, an efficient local algorithm, called LOGM, is proposed to mend barrier gaps due to sensor failure. In the case of m gaps, LOGM is proved to select at most 2m-1 sensors more than the optimal while being local and implementable in distributed fashion. We demonstrate the optimal/efficient performance of the proposed algorithms via extensive simulations.
Dealing with the NP-complete Dominating Set problem on undirected graphs, we demonstrate the power of data reduction by preprocessing from a theoretical as well as a practical side. In particular, we prove that Dominating Set restricted to planar gra
phs has a so-called problem kernel of linear size, achieved by two simple and easy to implement reduction rules. Moreover, having implemented our reduction rules, first experiments indicate the impressive practical potential of these rules. Thus, this work seems to open up a new and prospective way how to cope with one of the most important problems in graph theory and combinatorial optimization.
We present a packing-based approximation algorithm for the $k$-Set Cover problem. We introduce a new local search-based $k$-set packing heuristic, and call it Restricted $k$-Set Packing. We analyze its tight approximation ratio via a complicated comb
inatorial argument. Equipped with the Restricted $k$-Set Packing algorithm, our $k$-Set Cover algorithm is composed of the $k$-Set Packing heuristic cite{schrijver} for $kgeq 7$, Restricted $k$-Set Packing for $k=6,5,4$ and the semi-local $(2,1)$-improvement cite{furer} for 3-Set Cover. We show that our algorithm obtains a tight approximation ratio of $H_k-0.6402+Theta(frac{1}{k})$, where $H_k$ is the $k$-th harmonic number. For small $k$, our results are 1.8667 for $k=6$, 1.7333 for $k=5$ and 1.5208 for $k=4$. Our algorithm improves the currently best approximation ratio for the $k$-Set Cover problem of any $kgeq 4$.
We study the multi-level Steiner tree problem: a generalization of the Steiner tree problem in graphs where terminals $T$ require varying priority, level, or quality of service. In this problem, we seek to find a minimum cost tree containing edges of
varying rates such that any two terminals $u$, $v$ with priorities $P(u)$, $P(v)$ are connected using edges of rate $min{P(u),P(v)}$ or better. The case where edge costs are proportional to their rate is approximable to within a constant factor of the optimal solution. For the more general case of non-proportional costs, this problem is hard to approximate with ratio $c log log n$, where $n$ is the number of vertices in the graph. A simple greedy algorithm by Charikar et al., however, provides a $min{2(ln |T|+1), ell rho}$-approximation in this setting, where $rho$ is an approximation ratio for a heuristic solver for the Steiner tree problem and $ell$ is the number of priorities or levels (Byrka et al. give a Steiner tree algorithm with $rhoapprox 1.39$, for example). In this paper, we describe a natural generalization to the multi-level case of the classical (single-level) Steiner tree approximation algorithm based on Kruskals minimum spanning tree algorithm. We prove that this algorithm achieves an approximation ratio at least as good as Charikar et al., and experimentally performs better with respect to the optimum solution. We develop an integer linear programming formulation to compute an exact solution for the multi-level Steiner tree problem with non-proportional edge costs and use it to evaluate the performance of our algorithm on both random graphs and multi-level instances derived from SteinLib.
