Approximation Algorithms for Treewidth
Abstract. This paper presents algorithms whose input is an undirected graph, and whose output is a tree decomposition of width that approximates the optimal, the treewidth of that ...

An Approximation Algorithm for Shortest Descending Paths
A path from s to t on a polyhedral terrain is descending if the height of a point p never increases while we move p along the path from s to t. No efficient algorithm is known to ...

On Exact and Approximation Algorithms for Distinguishing Substring Selection
Abstract. The NP-complete Distinguishing Substring Selection problem (DSSS for short) asks, given a set of “good” strings and a set of “bad” strings, for a solution string ...

New Approximation-Based Local Search Algorithms for the Probabilistic Traveling Salesman Problem
In this paper we present new local search algorithms for the Probabilistic Traveling Salesman Problem (PTSP) using sampling and ad-hoc approximation. These algorithms improve both...
