We study a natural generalization of the maximum weight many-to-one matching problem. We are given an undirected bipartite graph G = (A P, E) with weights on the edges in E, and with lower and upper quotas on the vertices in P.We seek a maximum weight many-to-one matching satisfying two sets of...

We consider a new problem of constructing some required structures in digraphs, where all arcs installed in such required structures are supposed to be cut from some pieces of a specific material of length L. Formally, we consider the model: a digraph D=(V, A; w), a structure S and a specific...

The main question is how to compute the upper and lower limits of the range of possible values of a given statistic, when the data range over given intervals. Initially some well-known statistics, such as sample mean, sample variance or F-ratio, are considered in order to illustrate that in some...
