For an edge-weighted connected undirected graph, the minimum k-way cut problem is to find a subset of edges of minimum total weight whose removal separates the graph into k connect...
Given a set P of n points in the plane, the two-circle point-labeling problem consists of placing 2n uniform, non-intersecting, maximum-size open circles such that each point touc...
We give a 7.18-approximation algorithm for the minimum latency problem that uses only O(n log n) calls to the prize-collecting Steiner tree (PCST) subroutine of Goemans and Willia...
We study the partial vertex cover problem. Given a graph G = (V, E), a weight function w : V → R+ , and an integer s, our goal is to cover all but s edges, by picking a set of v...
Abstract. We describe fully polynomial time approximation schemes for generalized multicommodity flow problems arising in VLSI applications such as Global Routing via Buffer Block...
