Better Approximations for the Minimum Common Integer Partition Problem
Abstract. In the k-Minimum Common Integer Partition Problem, abbreviated k-MCIP, we are given k multisets X1, . . . , Xk of positive integers, and the goal is to find an integer mu...

Polynomial time approximation schemes for dense instances of NP-hard problems
We present a unified framework for designing polynomial time approximation schemes (PTASs) for “dense” instances of many NP-hard optimization problems, including maximum cut,...

Approximation Schemes for Euclidean k-Medians and Related Problems
In the k-median problem we are given a set S of n points in a metric space and a positive integer k. We desire to locate k medians in space, such that the sum of the distances fro...
