On Parameterized Approximability
Abstract. Combining classical approximability questions with parameterized complexity, we introduce a theory of parameterized approximability. The main intention of this theory is ...

Covering Rectilinear Polygons with Axis-Parallel Rectangles
We give an O( log n) factor approximation algorithm for covering a rectilinear polygon with holes using axis-parallel rectangles. This is the first polynomial time approximation a...

A Faster and Simpler 2-Approximation Algorithm for Block Sorting
Block sorting is used in connection with optical character recognition (OCR). Recent work has focused on finding good strategies which perform well in practice. Block sorting is N...

Parameterized Complexity of Constraint Satisfaction Problems
We prove a parameterized analog of Schaefer’s Dichotomy Theorem: we show that for every finite boolean constraint family F, deciding whether a formula containing constraints fr...

Constrained-Path Labellings on Graphs of Bounded Clique-Width
Given a graph G we consider the problem of preprocessing it so that given two vertices x,y and a set X of vertices, we can efficiently report the shortest path (or just its length...
