Approximate k-MSTs and k-Steiner Trees via the Primal-Dual Method and Lagrangean Relaxation
Garg [10] gives two approximation algorithms for the minimum-cost tree spanning k vertices in an undirected graph. Recently Jain and Vazirani [16] discovered primal-dual approxima...

The Reverse Greedy Algorithm for the Metric K-Median Problem
The Reverse Greedy algorithm (RGREEDY) for the k-median problem works as follows. It starts by placing facilities on all nodes. At each step, it removes a facility to minimize the...
