Node-Weighted Steiner Tree and Group Steiner Tree in Planar Graphs
We improve the approximation ratios for two optimization problems in planar graphs. For node-weighted Steiner tree, a classical network-optimization problem, the best achievable ap...

Electrical Flows, Laplacian Systems, and Faster Approximation of Maximum Flow in Undirected Graphs
We introduce a new approach to computing an approximately maximum s-t flow in a capacitated, undirected graph. This flow is computed by solving a sequence of electrical flow probl...

Approximating Spanning Trees with Inner Nodes Cost
We consider the practical NP-complete problem of finding a minimum weight spanning tree with both edge weights and inner nodes weights. We present two polynomial time algorithms ...

A New Indexing Method for Approximate String Matching
We present a new indexing method for the approximate string matching problem. The method is based on a su x tree combined with a partitioning of the pattern. We analyze the resulti...
