Greedy geographic routing in large-scale sensor networks: a minimum network decomposition approach
In geographic (or geometric) routing, messages are expected to route in a greedy manner: the current node always forwards a message to its neighbor node that is closest to the des...

Approximating Optimal Binary Decision Trees
Abstract. We give a (ln n + 1)-approximation for the decision tree (DT) problem. An instance of DT is a set of m binary tests T = (T1, . . . , Tm) and a set of n items X = (X1, . ....

Non-metric Multicommodity and Multilevel Facility Location
Abstract. We give logarithmic approximation algorithms for the nonmetric uncapacitated multicommodity and multilevel facility location problems. The former algorithms are optimal u...

A Soft Constraint of Equality: Complexity and Approximability
We introduce the SoftAllEqual global constraint, which maximizes the number of equalities holding between pairs of assignments to a set of variables. We study the computational com...

Conditional Inequalities and the Shortest Common Superstring Problem
We investigate the shortest common superstring problem (SCSSP). As SCSSP is APX-complete it cannot be approximated within an arbitrarily small performance ratio. One heuristic tha...
