A cycle cover of a graph is a spanning subgraph each node of which is part of exactly one simple cycle. A k-cycle cover is a cycle cover where each cycle has length at least k. Gi...
We prove that weighted monotone/antimonotone circuit satisfiability has no fixed-parameter tractable approximation algorithm with any approximation ratio function ρ, unless FPT...
Abstract This paper gives poly-logarithmic-round, distributed δ-approximation algorithms for covering problems with submodular cost and monotone covering constraints (Submodular-c...
Given a set of jobs, each consisting of a number of weighted intervals on the real line, and a number m of machines, we study the problem of selecting a maximum weight subset of th...
Abstract. In this paper we introduce a new technique for approximation schemes for geometrical optimization problems. As an example problem, we consider the following variant of th...
