Approximating the Minimum Weight Triangulation
We show that the length of the minimum weight Steiner triangulation (MWST) of a point set can be approximated within a constant factor by a triangulation algorithm based on quadtr...

Approximating Steiner Networks with Node-Weights
The (undirected) Steiner Network problem is: given a graph = ( , ) with edge/node-weights and edge-connectivity requirements { ( , ) : , }, find a minimumweight subgraph of conta...

Finding a Maximum Independent Set in a Sparse Random Graph
We consider the problem of finding a maximum independent set in a random graph. The random graph G, which contains n vertices, is modelled as follows. Every edge is included inde...

Improved Approximation Algorithms for the Spanning Star Forest Problem
A star graph is a tree of diameter at most two. A star forest is a graph that consists of node-disjoint star graphs. In the spanning star forest problem, given an unweighted graph ...

Constrained k-center and movement to independence
We obtain hardness results and approximation algorithms for two related geometric problems involving movement. The first is a constrained variant of the k-center problem, arising ...
