β¦ Synopsis
We characterize (0,l) linear programming matrices for which a greedy algorithm and its dual solve certain covering and packing problems. Special cases are shortest path and minimum spanning tree algorithms.

The success of modern heuristics (Simulated Annealing (S.A.), Tabu Search, Genetic Algorithms, . . . ) in solving classical combinatorial optimization problems has drawn the attention of the research community in multicriteria methods. In fact, for large-scale problems, the simultaneous difficultie
This paper presents some results regarding the design of reliable networks. The problem under consideration involves networks which are undirected graphs having equal and independent edge failure probabilities. The index of reliability is the probability that the network fails (becomes disconnected)
Let us fix a number a, O< a < 2. We join two p0int.s on the unit sphere Sm in the real m-space iff their distance is a. Denote the obtained graph by g,,,. We prove that the chromatic number x(9@,,,) tends to infinity when m --+ a. This gives a positive answer to a question of P. Erdiis.
