Approximation of Pathwidth of Outerplanar Graphs
There exists a polynomial time algorithm to compute the pathwidth of outerplanar graphs [3], but the large exponent makes this algorithm impractical. In this paper, we give an alg...

Improved Approximations for TSP with Simple Precedence Constraints
In this paper, we consider variants of the traveling salesman problem with precedence constraints. We characterize hard input instances for Christofides' algorithm and Hoogeve...

Approximate Reasoning Based on Similarity
The connection between similarity logic and the theory of closure operators is examined. Indeed one proves that the consequence relation defined in [14] can be obtained by composin...
