A 2.5-Factor Approximation Algorithm for the k-MST Problem
The k-MST problem requires finding that subset of at least k vertices of a given graph whose Minimum Spanning Tree has least weight amongst all subsets of at least k vertices. Th...

A Constant-Factor Approximation Algorithm for the k-Median Problem
We present the first constant-factor approximation algorithm for the metric k-median problem. The k-median problem is one of the most well-studied clustering problems, i.e., those...

Finding the k Most Vital Edges with Respect to Minimum Spanning Trees for k=2 and 3
Let G(V, E) be a weighted, undirected, connected simple graph with n vertices and m edges. The k most vital edge problem with respect to minimum spanning trees is to find a set S o...

Stability Yields a PTAS for k-Median and k-Means Clustering
We consider k-median clustering in finite metric spaces and k-means clustering in Euclidean spaces, in the setting where k is part of the input (not a constant). For the k-means pr...
