We present lower bounds for the vehicle routing problem (VRP) with and without split deliveries, improving the well known bound of Haimovich and Rinnooy Kan. These bounds are then...
Abstract. Finding maximum independent sets in graphs with bounded maximum degree is a well-studied NP-complete problem. We introduce an algorithm schema for improving the approxim...
We present a simple randomized algorithmic framework for connected facility location problems. The basic idea is as follows: We run a black-box approximation algorithm for the unc...

Finding a set of web pages relevant to a user’s information goal is difficult due to the enormous size of the Internet. Search engines are able to find a set of pages that mat...
Many applications need to solve the problem of approximate string matching with block moves. It is an NP-Complete problem to compute block edit distance between two strings. Our go...
