Approximation schemes for Metric Bisection and partitioning
We design polynomial time approximation schemes (PTASs) for Metric BISECTION, i.e. dividing a given finite metric space into two halves so as to minimize or maximize the sum of di...

Approximations and Randomization to Boost CSP Techniques
Abstract. In recent years we have seen an increasing interest in combining constraint satisfaction problem (CSP) formulations and linear programming (LP) based techniques for solvi...

A new approximation algorithm for the multilevel facility location problem
In this paper we propose a new integer programming formulation for the multilevel facility location problem and a novel 3-approximation algorithm based on LP rounding. The linear ...
