We address the problem of approximate string matching in two dimensions, that is, to nd a pattern of size m m in a text of size n n with at most k errors (substitutions, insertions...
We prove the existence of small core-sets for solving approximate k-center clustering and related problems. The size of these core-sets is considerably smaller than the previously...
Abstract. We consider the problem of maintaining polynomial and exponential decay aggregates of a data stream, where the weight of values seen from the stream diminishes as time el...
We give a simple algorithm for the MINIMUM DIRECTED MULTICUT problem, and show that it gives an Ç´ÔÒµapproximation. This improves on the previous approximation guarantee of Ã...
Let P be a combinatorial optimization problem, and let A be an approximation algorithm for P. The domination ratio domr(A, s) is the maximal real q such that the solution x(I) obt...
