A Constant-Factor Approximation Algorithm for the Multicommodity
We present the first constant-factor approximation algorithm for network design with multiple commodities and economies of scale. We consider the rent-or-buy problem, a type of m...

Greedy in Approximation Algorithms
The objective of this paper is to characterize classes of problems for which a greedy algorithm finds solutions provably close to optimum. To that end, we introduce the notion of k...

Algorithmic Graph Minor Theory: Decomposition, Approximation, and Coloring
At the core of the seminal Graph Minor Theory of Robertson and Seymour is a powerful structural theorem capturing the structure of graphs excluding a fixed minor. This result is ...
