— An approximate string query is to find from a collection of strings those that are similar to a given query string. Answering such queries is important in many applications su...
We present a hierarchical scheme for efficiently maintaining all-pairs approximate shortest-paths in undirected unweighted graphs under deletions of edges. An α-approximate short...
This paper describes an algorithm that achieves an approximately optimal assignment of forward error correction to progressive data within the unequal loss protection framework [1...

Let G = (V, E) be an undirected weighted graph with |V | = n and |E| = m. Let k 1 be an integer. We show that G = (V, E) can be preprocessed in O(kmn1/k ) expected time, construc...
In the capacitated vehicle routing problem, introduced by Dantzig and Ramser in 1959, we are given the locations of n customers and a depot, along with a vehicle of capacity k, an...
