In this paper, we initiate the study of the approximability of the facility location problem in a distributed setting. In particular, we explore a trade-off between the amount of...
This paper considers the problem of selecting a subset of nodes in a two-hop wireless network to act as relays in aiding the communication between the source-destination pair. Opt...

We consider the polyhedral approach to solving the capacitated facility location problem. The valid inequalities considered are the knapsack, ow cover, e ective capacity, single d...
We consider the problem of query rewrites in the context of keyword advertisement. Given a three-layer graph consisting of queries, query rewrites, and the corresponding ads that ...
