A Simple 3-Approximation of Minimum Manhattan Networks
Given a set P of n points in the plane, a Manhattan network of P is a network that contains a rectilinear shortest path between every pair of points of P. A minimum Manhattan netw...

A PAC Bound for Approximate Support Vector Machines
We study a class of algorithms that speed up the training process of support vector machines (SVMs) by returning an approximate SVM. We focus on algorithms that reduce the size of...

Facility location: distributed approximation
In this paper, we initiate the study of the approximability of the facility location problem in a distributed setting. In particular, we explore a trade-off between the amount of...

Improved Approximation for Guarding Simple Galleries from the Perimeter
We provide an O(log log OPT)-approximation algorithm for the problem of guarding a simple polygon with guards on the perimeter. We first design a polynomial-time algorithm for bui...
