A Group-Strategyproof Cost Sharing Mechanism for the Steiner Forest Game
We consider a game-theoretical variant of the Steiner forest problem in which each player j, out of a set of k players, strives to connect his terminal pair (sj, tj) of vertices in...

On Tree-Constrained Matchings and Generalizations
We consider the following Tree-Constrained Bipartite Matching problem: Given two rooted trees T1 = (V1, E1), T2 = (V2, E2) and a weight function w : V1 × V2 → R+, find a maximu...

A constant-factor approximation for stochastic Steiner forest
We consider the stochastic Steiner forest problem: suppose we were given a collection of Steiner forest instances, and were guaranteed that a random one of these instances would a...

Approximation Bounds for a General Class of Precedence Constrained Parallel Machine Scheduling Problems
Abstract. A well studied and difficult class of scheduling problems concerns parallel machines and precedence constraints. In order to model more realistic situations, we consider ...
