Approximation Algorithms for Forests Augmentation Ensuring Two Disjoint Paths of Bounded Length
Given a forest F = (V, E) and a positive integer D, we consider the problem of finding a minimum number of new edges E such that in the augmented graph H = (V, E∪E ) any pair of...

Kernelization and Complexity Results for Connectivity Augmentation Problems
Connectivity augmentation problems ask for adding a set of at most k edges whose insertion makes a given graph satisfy a specified connectivity property, such as bridge-connectivi...

Free Bits, PCPs, and Nonapproximability-Towards Tight Results
This paper continues the investigation of the connection between probabilistically checkable proofs (PCPs) and the approximability of NP-optimization problems. The emphasis is on p...
