Abstract. Bidimensionality provides a tool for developing subexponential fixed-parameter algorithms for combinatorial optimization problems on graph families that exclude a minor....

We prove that various geometric covering problems, related to the Travelling Salesman Problem cannot be efficiently approximated to within any constant factor unless P = NP. This ...
Selecting a small set of nodes called pivots, from all the nodes in a network and maintaining the routing infrastructure to and among each other can reduce routing overhead and ex...
Computing a minimum vertex cover in graphs and hypergraphs is a well-studied optimizaton problem. While intractable in general, it is well known that on bipartite graphs, vertex c...
We study the partial capacitated vertex cover problem (pcvc) in which the input consists of a graph G and a covering requirement L. Each edge e in G is associated with a demand (o...
