We study the parameterized complexity of an NP-complete geometric covering problem called d-dimensional Rectangle Stabbing where we are given a set of axis-parallel d-dimensional h...
In this paper, we introduce the generalized capacitated tree-routing problem (GCTR), which is described as follows. Given a connected graph G = (V, E) with a sink s V and a set M...
Consider the following problem: given a metric space, some of whose points are "clients," select a set of at most k facility locations to minimize the average distance f...

Smale's 17th Problem asks "Can a zero of n complex polynomial equations in n unknowns be found approximately, on the average [for a suitable probability measure on the s...
Following the well-studied two-stage optimization framework for stochastic optimization [15, 18], we study approximation algorithms for robust two-stage optimization problems with ...
