Greedy Approximation via Duality for Packing, Combinatorial Auctions and Routing
We study simple greedy approximation algorithms for general class of integer packing problems. We provide a novel analysis based on the duality theory of linear programming. This e...

Analysis of greedy approximations with nonsubmodular potential functions
In this paper, we present two techniques to analyze greedy approximation with nonsubmodular functions restricted submodularity and shifted submodularity. As an application of the ...

Tight Approximation Ratio of a General Greedy Splitting Algorithm for the Minimum k-Way Cut Problem
For an edge-weighted connected undirected graph, the minimum k-way cut problem is to find a subset of edges of minimum total weight whose removal separates the graph into k connect...

A Simple Greedy Algorithm for the k-Disjoint Flow Problem
In classical network flow theory the choice of paths, on which flow is sent, is only restricted by arc capacities. This, however, is not realistic in most applications. Many prob...
