Superiorization and Perturbation Resilience of Algorithms: A Continuously Updated Bibliography
This document presents a, (mostly) chronologically ordered, bibliography of
scientific publications on the superiorization methodology and perturbation
resilience of algorithms which is compiled and continuously updated by us at:
http://math.haifa.ac.il/yair/bib-superiorization-censor.html. Since the
beginings of this topic we try to trace the work that has been published about
it since its inception. To the best of our knowledge this bibliography
represents all available publications on this topic to date, and while the URL
is continuously updated we will revise this document and bring it up to date on
arXiv approximately once a year. Abstracts of the cited works, and some links
and downloadable files of preprints or reprints are available on the above
mentioned Internet page. If you know of a related scientific work in any form
that should be included here kindly write to me on: [email protected] with
full bibliographic details, a DOI if available, and a PDF copy of the work if
possible. The Internet page was initiated on March 7, 2015, and has been last
updated on March 12, 2020.Comment: Original report: June 13, 2015 contained 41 items. First revision:

A Computable Economist’s Perspective on Computational Complexity
A computable economist's view of the world of computational complexity theory is described. This means the model of computation underpinning theories of computational complexity plays a central role. The emergence of computational complexity theories from diverse traditions is emphasised. The unifications that emerged in the modern era was codified by means of the notions of efficiency of computations, non-deterministic computations, completeness, reducibility and verifiability - all three of the latter concepts had their origins on what may be called 'Post's Program of Research for Higher Recursion Theory'. Approximations, computations and constructions are also emphasised. The recent real model of computation as a basis for studying computational complexity in the domain of the reals is also presented and discussed, albeit critically. A brief sceptical section on algorithmic complexity theory is included in an appendix
The matching relaxation for a class of generalized set partitioning problems
This paper introduces a discrete relaxation for the class of combinatorial
optimization problems which can be described by a set partitioning formulation
under packing constraints. We present two combinatorial relaxations based on
computing maximum weighted matchings in suitable graphs. Besides providing dual
bounds, the relaxations are also used on a variable reduction technique and a
matheuristic. We show how that general method can be tailored to sample
applications, and also perform a successful computational evaluation with
benchmark instances of a problem in maritime logistics.Comment: 33 pages. A preliminary (4-page) version of this paper was presented
at CTW 2016 (Cologne-Twente Workshop on Graphs and Combinatorial
Optimization), with proceedings on Electronic Notes in Discrete Mathematic

Combinatorics and Geometry of Transportation Polytopes: An Update
A transportation polytope consists of all multidimensional arrays or tables
of non-negative real numbers that satisfy certain sum conditions on subsets of
the entries. They arise naturally in optimization and statistics, and also have
interest for discrete mathematics because permutation matrices, latin squares,
and magic squares appear naturally as lattice points of these polytopes.
In this paper we survey advances on the understanding of the combinatorics
and geometry of these polyhedra and include some recent unpublished results on
the diameter of graphs of these polytopes. In particular, this is a thirty-year
update on the status of a list of open questions last visited in the 1984 book
by Yemelichev, Kovalev and Kravtsov and the 1986 survey paper of Vlach.Comment: 35 pages, 13 figure
