On the Complexity of Approximating TSP with Neighborhoods and Related Problems
We prove that various geometric covering problems, related to the Travelling Salesman Problem cannot be efficiently approximated to within any constant factor unless P = NP. This ...

Approximating covering problems by randomized search heuristics using multi-objective models
The main aim of randomized search heuristics is to produce good approximations of optimal solutions within a small amount of time. In contrast to numerous experimental results, th...

Frugality ratios and improved truthful mechanisms for vertex cover
In set-system auctions, there are several overlapping teams of agents, and a task that can be completed by any of these teams. The auctioneer's goal is to hire a team and pay...

Identifying Codes and Covering Problems
The identifying code problem for a given graph involves finding a minimum set of vertices whose neighborhoods uniquely overlap at any given graph vertex. Initially introduced in 1...

On Approximating Restricted Cycle Covers
A cycle cover of a graph is a set of cycles such that every vertex is part of exactly one cycle. An L-cycle cover is a cycle cover in which the length of every cycle is in the set...
