Constant-Time Approximation Algorithms via Local Improvements
We present a technique for transforming classical approximation algorithms into constant-time algorithms that approximate the size of the optimal solution. Our technique is applic...

Linear Time Algorithms for Generalized Edge Dominating Set Problems
Abstract. In this paper we consider a generalization of the edge dominating set (EDS) problem, in which each edge e needs to be covered be times and refer to this as the b-EDS prob...

Approximation Algorithms for Dominating Set in Disk Graphs
We consider the problem of finding a lowest cost dominating set in a given disk graph containing n disks. The problem has been extensively studied on subclasses of disk graphs, ye...

Simple Algorithms for a Weighted Interval Selection Problem
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...

Covering Games: Approximation through Non-cooperation
We propose approximation algorithms under game-theoretic considerations. We indroduce and study the general covering problem which is a natural generalization of the well-studied m...
