The Reverse Greedy algorithm (RGREEDY) for the k-median problem works as follows. It starts by placing facilities on all nodes. At each step, it removes a facility to minimize the...
We present a simple two-person Bucket Game, based on throwing balls into buckets, and we discuss possible players’ strategies. We use these strategies to create an approximation ...
Abstract. Given a set of strings S = {s1, . . . , sn}, the Shortest Superstring problem asks for the shortest string s which contains each si as a substring. We consider two measur...
Abstract. We propose a novel randomized algorithm for computing a dominating set based clustering in wireless ad-hoc and sensor networks. The algorithm works under a model which ca...
We propose a new two-dimensional meshing algorithm called PINW able to generate meshes that accurately approximate the distance between any two domain points by paths composed onl...
