Computing a minimum vertex cover in graphs and hypergraphs is a well-studied optimizaton problem. While intractable in general, it is well known that on bipartite graphs, vertex c...
We study the maximum edge-disjoint paths problem in undirected planar graphs: given a graph G and node pairs s1t1, s2t2, . . ., sktk, the goal is to maximize the number of pairs t...

We introduce a new graph parameter, called the Grothendieck constant of a graph G = (V, E), which is defined as the least constant K such that for every A : E R, sup f:V S|V |-1 ...

We study integrality gaps and approximability of two closely related problems on directed graphs. Given a set V of n nodes in an underlying asymmetric metric and two specified nod...

We study the maximum edge-disjoint paths problem in undirected planar graphs: given a graph G and node pairs (demands) s1t1, s2t2, . . ., sktk, the goal is to maximize the number ...
