On the Semantics of Markov Automata
Markov automata describe systems in terms of events which may be nondeterministic, may occur probabilistically, or may be subject to time delays. We define a novel notion of weak ...

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...

Improved Approximation for the Directed Spanner Problem
We present an O( √ n log n)-approximation algorithm for the problem of finding the sparsest spanner of a given directed graph G on n vertices. A spanner of a graph is a sparse ...

Clique Clustering Yields a PTAS for max-Coloring Interval Graphs
We are given an interval graph G = (V, E) where each interval I ∈ V has a weight wI ∈ R+. The goal is to color the intervals V with an arbitrary number of color classes C1, C2...
