We present the first 7/8-approximation algorithm for the maximum traveling salesman problem with triangle inequality. Our algorithm is deterministic. This improves over both the r...
So far, an efficient similarity search in multimedia databases has been carried out by metric access methods (MAMs), where the utilized similarity measure had to satisfy the metric...
Cooper, Dyer and Frieze studied the problem of sampling H-colourings (nearly) uniformly at random. Special cases of this problem include sampling colourings and independent sets a...
In this paper we consider the problem of testing whether a graph is triangle-free, and more generally, whether it is H-free, for a fixed subgraph H. The algorithm should accept gr...

We investigate the complexity and approximability of some location problems when two distance values are specified for each pair of potential sites. These problems involve the se...
