An Approximate Algorithm for the Partitionable Independent Task Scheduling Problem.

TL;DR: This paper introduces a new problem of scheduling a collection of independent tasks on a multiprocessor, called the partitionable independent task scheduling problem, and presents an approximate algorithm that guarantees a solution within (1+1/p) 2 3333333 of the optimal solution, under a reasonable assumption on the speedup functions.

Fast–mixed searching and related problems on graphs

TL;DR: This paper establishes a relation between the fast–mixed search problem and the induced-path cover problem, and proves that Fast–Mixed Searching From Leaves is NP-complete, and it remains NP- complete for planar graphs with maximum degree 3.

An approximation algorithm for the asymmetric travelling salesman problem with distances one and two

TL;DR: An approximation algorithm is presented, with a performance ratio of at most 17⧸12, for the asymmetric travelling salesman problem with distances one and two, which is equivalent to the problem of covering the vertices of a diagraph with a minimum number of vertex-disjoint paths.
