Improved Steiner tree approximation in graphs
The Steiner tree problem in weighted graphs seeks a minimum weight connected subgraph containing a given subset of the vertices terminals. We present a new polynomial-time heurist...

Discrete Approximations to Continuous Curves
Abstract— We consider the problem of approximating a continuous curve by a piecewise linear one whose segments are assumed to be connected by universal joints. Rather than taking...

The Finite Capacity Dial-A-Ride Problem
In the Finite Capacity Dial-a-Ride problem the input is a metric space, a set of objects {di}, each specifying a source si and a destination ti, and an integer k--the capacity of t...

Node-Weighted Steiner Tree and Group Steiner Tree in Planar Graphs
We improve the approximation ratios for two optimization problems in planar graphs. For node-weighted Steiner tree, a classical network-optimization problem, the best achievable ap...
