On Tree-Constrained Matchings and Generalizations
We consider the following Tree-Constrained Bipartite Matching problem: Given two rooted trees T1 = (V1, E1), T2 = (V2, E2) and a weight function w : V1 × V2 → R+, find a maximu...

Approximation Algorithms for the Max-coloring Problem
Given a graph G = (V, E) and positive integral vertex weights w : V → N, the max-coloring problem seeks to find a proper vertex coloring of G whose color classes C1, C2, . . . ,...

Embedding metrics into ultrametrics and graphs into spanning trees with constant average distortion
This paper addresses the basic question of how well can a tree approximate distances of a metric space or a graph. Given a graph, the problem of constructing a spanning tree in a ...

Efficient Evaluation of Multiple Preference Queries
Consider multiple users searching for a hotel room, based on size, cost, distance to the beach, etc. Users may have variable preferences expressed by different weights on the attri...
