An instance of the path hitting problem consists of two families of paths, D and H, in a common undirected graph, where each path in H is associated with a non-negative cost. We r...
Abstract. We consider the problem of finding shortest paths in a graph with independent randomly distributed edge lengths. Our goal is to maximize the probability that the path len...

Lower envelopes are fundamental structures in computational geometry, which have many applications, such as computing general Voronoi diagrams and performing hidden surface removal...
The objective of this paper is to characterize classes of problems for which a greedy algorithm finds solutions provably close to optimum. To that end, we introduce the notion of k...
