We give a 7.18-approximation algorithm for the minimum latency problem that uses only O(n log n) calls to the prize-collecting Steiner tree (PCST) subroutine of Goemans and Willia...
In this paper we introduce a general strategy for approximating the solution to minimisation problems in random regular graphs. We describe how the approach can be applied to the m...
There has been much progress on geometric set cover problems, but most known techniques only apply to the unweighted setting. For the weighted setting, very few results are known ...
We consider the concepts of a t-total vertex cover and a t-total edge cover (t 1), which generalize the notions of a vertex cover and an edge cover, respectively. A t-total verte...
This paper studies constant-time approximation algorithms for problems on degree-bounded graphs. Let n and d be the number of vertices and the degree bound, respectively. This pap...
