Connected facility location via random facility sampling and core detouring
We present a simple randomized algorithmic framework for connected facility location problems. The basic idea is as follows: We run a black-box approximation algorithm for the unc...

Approximation algorithms for connected facility location problems
We study Connected Facility Location problems. We are given a connected graph G = (V, E) with nonnegative edge cost ce for each edge e E, a set of clients D V such that each cli...

An approximation algorithm for the fault tolerant metric facility location problem
We consider a fault tolerant version of the metric facility location problem in which every city, j, is required to be connected to rj facilities. We give the first non-trivial ap...
