Constant-approximation for target coverage problem in wireless sensor networks
—When a large amount of sensors are randomly deployed into a field, how can we make a sleep/activate schedule for sensors to maximize the lifetime of target coverage in the fie...

Finding approximate palindromes in strings
We introduce a novel de nition of approximate palindromes in strings, and provide an algorithm to nd all maximal approximate palindromes in a string with up to k errors. Our de ni...

Approximating edit distance in near-linear time
We show how to compute the edit distance between two strings of length n up to a factor of 2 ~O( log n) in n1+o(1) time. This is the first sub-polynomial approximation algorithm f...

Approximating the Crossing Number of Graphs Embeddable in Any Orientable Surface
The crossing number of a graph is the least number of pairwise edge crossings in a drawing of the graph in the plane. We provide an O(n log n) time constant factor approximation al...
