  2 This is the author's version of a work that was accepted for publication. Changes resulting from the publishing process, such as peer review, editing, corrections, structural formatting, and other quality control mechanisms may not be reflected in this document. Changes may have been made to this work since it was submitted for publication. A definitive version was subsequently published in Discrete Applied Mathematics for DHST08 and SY14; Discrete Optimization for WPS17; Electronic Notes in Discrete Mathematics for MS11 and SY15; and Information Processing Letters for MCS12; and Operations Research for Health Care for SBD+21.
Incidentally, there are some good reasons to avoid Elsevier as a publisher, although I'm ambivalent enough that I haven't yet joined the boycott.
