A Linear Time Approximation Algorithm for Ruler Folding Problem
: A chain or n-link is a sequence of n links whose lengths are fixed and are joined together from their endpoints, free to turn about their endpoints, which act as joints. "Ru...

Combinatorial Problems on Strings with Applications to Protein Folding
We consider the problem of protein folding in the HP model on the 3D square lattice. This problem is combinatorially equivalent to folding a string of 0’s and 1’s so that the s...

An Almost Linear Time 2.8334-Approximation Algorithm for the Disc Covering Problem
The disc covering problem asks to cover a set of points on the plane with a minimum number of fix-sized discs. We develop an O(n(log n)2 (log log n)2 ) deterministic time 2.8334-a...

Linear time approximation schemes for the Gale-Berlekamp game and related minimization problems
We design a linear time approximation scheme for the GaleBerlekamp Switching Game and generalize it to a wider class of dense fragile minimization problems including the Nearest C...

Fast Approximation Algorithms for Cut-based Problems in Undirected Graphs
We present a general method of designing fast approximation algorithms for cut-based minimization problems in undirected graphs. In particular, we develop a technique that given a...
