Abstract. The Minimum-Power k-Connected Subgraph (MPkCS) problem seeks a power (range) assignment to the nodes of a given wireless network such that the resulting communication (su...
Let G = (V, E) be an weighted undirected graph on n vertices and m edges, and let dG be its shortest path metric. We present two simple deterministic algorithms for approximating ...
Motivated by online ad allocation, we study the problem of simultaneous approximations for the adversarial and stochastic online budgeted allocation problem. This problem consists...

Abstract. We give a (ln n + 1)-approximation for the decision tree (DT) problem. An instance of DT is a set of m binary tests T = (T1, . . . , Tm) and a set of n items X = (X1, . ....
The Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) is a canonical NP-complete problem which is known to be MAXSNP hard even on Euclidean metrics (of high dimensions) [40]. In order to circumven...
