Approximate Maximum Parsimony and Ancestral Maximum Likelihood
— We explore the maximum parsimony (MP) and ancestral maximum likelihood (AML) criteria in phylogenetic tree reconstruction. Both problems are NP hard, so we seek approximate sol...

Node-Weighted Steiner Tree and Group Steiner Tree in Planar Graphs
We improve the approximation ratios for two optimization problems in planar graphs. For node-weighted Steiner tree, a classical network-optimization problem, the best achievable ap...

Data Structures and Algorithms for Nearest Neighbor Search in General Metric Spaces
We consider the computational problem of finding nearest neighbors in general metric spaces. Of particular interest are spaces that may not be conveniently embedded or approximate...

New approaches to covering and packing problems
Covering and packing integer programs model a large family of combinatorial optimization problems. The current-best approximation algorithms for these are an instance of the basic...

ATreeGrep: Approximate Searching in Unordered Trees
An unordered labeled tree is a tree in which each node has a string label and the parent-child relationship is significant, but the order among siblings is unimportant. This pape...
