Recently, Becker and Geiger and Bafna, Berman and Fujito gave 2-approximation algorithms for the feedback vertex set problem in undirected graphs. We show how their algorithms can...
We consider an APX-hard variant (∆-Max-ATSP) and an APX-hard relaxation (Max-3-DCC) of the classical traveling salesman problem. We present a 31 40-approximation algorithm for â...
Abstract. We implement the approximation algorithm for the multicast congestion problem in communication networks in [14] based on the fast approximation algorithm for packing prob...
The minimum latency problem (MLP) is a well-studied variant of the traveling salesman problem (TSP). In the MLP, the server's goal is to minimize the average latency that the...
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 ...
