Improved algorithms for orienteering and related problems
In this paper we consider the orienteering problem in undirected and directed graphs and obtain improved approximation algorithms. The point to point-orienteering-problem is the f...

On Minimum Power Connectivity Problems
Given a (directed or undirected) graph with edge costs, the power of a node is the maximum cost of an edge leaving it, and the power of the graph is the sum of the powers of its n...

Approximating weighted matchings in parallel
We present an NC approximation algorithm for the weighted matching problem in graphs with an approximation ratio of (1 - ). This improves the previously best approximation ratio of...

Linear-time algorithms for problems on planar graphs with fixed disk dimension
The disk dimension of a planar graph G is the least number k for which G embeds in the plane minus k open disks, with every vertex on the boundary of some disk. Useful properties ...
