We present the first constant-factor approximation algorithm for the metric k-median problem. The k-median problem is one of the most well-studied clustering problems, i.e., those...
In this paper we consider both the maximization variant Max Rep and the minimization variant Min Rep of the famous Label Cover problem, for which, till now, the best approximation ...

The stochastic root-finding problem (SRFP) is that of solving a system of q equations in q unknowns using only an oracle that provides estimates of the function values. This paper...
The input to the minimum latency set cover problem (MLSC) consists of a set of jobs and a set of tools. Each job j needs a specific subset Sj of the tools in order to be processed...
We study two packing problems that arise in the area of dissemination-based information systems; a second theme is the study of distributed approximation algorithms. The problems c...
