Approximating Node-Connectivity Augmentation Problems
The (undirected) Node Connectivity Augmentation (NCA) problem is: given a graph J = (V, EJ ) and connectivity requirements {r(u, v) : u, v ∈ V }, find a minimum size set I of n...

Tight Approximation Ratio of a General Greedy Splitting Algorithm for the Minimum k-Way Cut Problem
For an edge-weighted connected undirected graph, the minimum k-way cut problem is to find a subset of edges of minimum total weight whose removal separates the graph into k connect...

Tight results for Next Fit and Worst Fit with resource augmentation
It is well known that the two simple algorithms for the classic bin packing problem, NF and WF both have an approximation ratio of 2. However, WF seems to be a more reasonable alg...
