In this paper, we give a O(log copt)-approximation algorithm for the point guard problem where copt is the optimal number of guards. Our algorithm runs in time polynomial in n, the...

Abstract Abstract. Recent work in the analysis of randomized approximation algorithms for NP-hard optimization problems has involved approximating the solution to a problem by the ...
In this paper we present new local search algorithms for the Probabilistic Traveling Salesman Problem (PTSP) using sampling and ad-hoc approximation. These algorithms improve both...

Abstract— We report our algorithmic development of the pframe problem that addresses the need of coordinating a set of p networked robotic pan-tilt-zoom cameras for n, (n > p)...
