—Many important network design problems can be formulated as a combinatorial optimization problem. A large number of such problems, however, cannot readily be tackled by distribu...
An approximate search query on a collection of strings finds those strings in the collection that are similar to a given query string, where similarity is defined using a given si...
We design polynomial time approximation schemes (PTASs) for Metric BISECTION, i.e. dividing a given finite metric space into two halves so as to minimize or maximize the sum of di...

The maximum cardinality of a frequent set as well as the minimum cardinality of an infrequent set are important characteristic numbers in frequent (item) set mining. Gunopulos et a...
