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...

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...

The success ofreinforcement learninginpractical problems depends on the ability to combine function approximation with temporal di erence methods such as value iteration. Experime...
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 ...

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...
