  2. Maximum coverage problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximum_coverage_problem

    The maximum coverage problem is a classical question in computer science, computational complexity theory, and operations research. It is a problem that is widely taught in approximation algorithms. As input you are given several sets and a number . The sets may have some elements in common.

  3. Maximum satisfiability problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximum_satisfiability_problem

    The soft satisfiability problem (soft-SAT), given a set of SAT problems, asks for the maximum number of those problems which can be satisfied by any assignment. [16] The minimum satisfiability problem. The MAX-SAT problem can be extended to the case where the variables of the constraint satisfaction problem belong to the set of reals.

  4. Activity selection problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Activity_selection_problem

    The problem is to select the maximum number of activities that can be performed by a single person or machine, assuming that a person can only work on a single activity at a time. The activity selection problem is also known as the Interval scheduling maximization problem (ISMP) , which is a special type of the more general Interval Scheduling ...

  5. Clique problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clique_problem

    The clique number ω(G) is the number of vertices in a maximum clique of G. [1] Several closely related clique-finding problems have been studied. [14] In the maximum clique problem, the input is an undirected graph, and the output is a maximum clique in the graph. If there are multiple maximum cliques, one of them may be chosen arbitrarily. [14]

  6. Optimal substructure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optimal_substructure

    However, if the problem takes the maximum number of layovers as a parameter, then the problem has optimal substructure. The cheapest flight from A to B that involves at most k layovers is either the direct flight; or the cheapest flight from A to some airport C that involves at most t layovers for some integer t with 0≤t<k , plus the cheapest ...

  7. Interval scheduling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interval_scheduling

    The goal here is to execute a single representative task from each group. GISDPk is a restricted version of GISDP in which the number of intervals in each group is at most k. The group interval scheduling maximization problem (GISMP) is to find a largest compatible set - a set of non-overlapping representatives of maximum size. The goal here is ...

  8. Maximum subarray problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximum_subarray_problem

    The maximum subarray problem was proposed by Ulf Grenander in 1977 as a simplified model for maximum likelihood estimation of patterns in digitized images. [5] Grenander was looking to find a rectangular subarray with maximum sum, in a two-dimensional array of real numbers.

  9. Partition problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partition_problem

    In number theory and computer science, the partition problem, or number partitioning, [1] is the task of deciding whether a given multiset S of positive integers can be partitioned into two subsets S 1 and S 2 such that the sum of the numbers in S 1 equals the sum of the numbers in S 2.
