Optimal cost sharing for capacitated facility location games

Harks, Tobias; von Falkenhausen, Philipp - In: European Journal of Operational Research 239 (2014) 1, pp. 187-198

We consider cost sharing for a class of facility location games, where the strategy space of each player consists of the bases of a player-specific matroid defined on the set of resources. We assume that resources have nondecreasing load-dependent costs and player-specific delays. Our model...

On the complexity of project scheduling to minimize exposed time

Pinker, Edieal; Szmerekovsky, Joseph; Tilson, Vera - In: European Journal of Operational Research 237 (2014) 2, pp. 448-453

We consider project scheduling where the project manager’s objective is to minimize the time from when an adversary discovers the project until the completion of the project. We analyze the complexity of the problem identifying both polynomially solvable and NP-hard versions of the problem....
