A Polynomial-Time Approximation Algorithm for a Geometric Dispersion Problem
We consider the problem of placing a set of disks in a region containing obstacles such that no two disks intersect. We are given a bounding polygon P and a set R of possibly inte...

An Approximate Max-Steiner-Tree-Packing Min-Steiner-Cut Theorem
Given an undirected multigraph G and a subset of vertices S V (G), the STEINER TREE PACKING problem is to find a largest collection of edge-disjoint trees that each connects S. T...

Hedging Uncertainty: Approximation Algorithms for Stochastic Optimization Problems
Abstract. We study two-stage, finite-scenario stochastic versions of several combinatorial optimization problems, and provide nearly tight approximation algorithms for them. Our pr...

Packing triangles in low degree graphs and indifference graphs
We consider the problems of finding the maximum number of vertex-disjoint triangles (VTP) and edge-disjoint triangles (ETP) in a simple graph. Both problems are NP-hard. The algor...
