Approximation Algorithms for Multicommodity-Type Problems with Guarantees Independent of the Graph Size
— Linial, London and Rabinovich [16] and Aumann and Rabani [3] proved that the min-cut max-flow ratio for general maximum concurrent flow problems (when there are k commodities...

Empirical comparison of algorithms for network community detection
Detecting clusters or communities in large real-world graphs such as large social or information networks is a problem of considerable interest. In practice, one typically chooses...

Message-optimal connected dominating sets in mobile ad hoc networks
A connected dominating set (CDS) for a graph G(V, E) is a subset V of V , such that each node in V - V is adjacent to some node in V , and V induces a connected subgraph. A CDS ha...

Complexity in geometric SINR
In this paper we study the problem of scheduling wireless links in the geometric SINR model, which explicitly uses the fact that nodes are distributed in the Euclidean plane. We p...

Approximation algorithms for co-clustering
Co-clustering is the simultaneous partitioning of the rows and columns of a matrix such that the blocks induced by the row/column partitions are good clusters. Motivated by severa...

On the average case performance of some greedy approximation algorithms for the uncapacitated facility location problem
In combinatorial optimization, a popular approach to NP-hard problems is the design of approximation algorithms. These algorithms typically run in polynomial time and are guarante...
